How Ember Spirit and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ember Spirit and Troll Warlord win 50.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,237 matches.
Setting up a kill often feels disconnected between these two. Ember Spirit can land a Searing Chains, which gives Troll Warlord a window to run in and start hitting. The issue is that Ember wants to play on the edges of the fight, using Sleight of Fist to hit multiple targets and stay safe. Troll, on the other hand, commits hard with Battle Trance, running at a single hero. They don't really enable each other's game plans. Ember isn't providing the kind of frontline control or save Troll wants, and Troll can't always follow up on the chaotic damage Ember creates. They end up as two independent damage dealers.
