How Dazzle and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dazzle and Troll Warlord win 53.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,083 matches.
Keeping a Troll Warlord alive with Shallow Grave during his Battle Trance can be an effective way to turn a fight. The extra time allows Troll to build more Fervor stacks and hopefully lifesteal back to full. Dazzle’s armor reduction also complements Troll’s high physical damage, helping him melt a single target. The issue is that neither hero offers reliable lockdown to guarantee this happens. Mobile enemies can often kite Troll Warlord for the duration of Shallow Grave, waiting out his ultimate before re-engaging. If Dazzle gets silenced or burst down first, the entire concept falls apart, leaving Troll without his key defensive support.
