In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Troll Warlord win 48.84% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 43 matches.

Small sample: this pairing has only 43 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.

Why this works

Failing to secure early map control is a real risk for this duo. Chen wants to group his creeps and push towers from the start, applying constant pressure. Troll Warlord, on the other hand, needs significant time and farm to build the items that let him dominate fights with Battle Trance. This tempo mismatch often means Chen’s early army has no real carry to back it up, or Troll is forced into awkward fights before he's ready. There aren't many games with these two together, so perhaps some drafts can make it work.
