How Faceless Void and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Faceless Void and Troll Warlord win 51.66% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,295 matches.
Setting up a Chronosphere for Troll Warlord to attack inside often looks better on paper than it plays out. While Battle Trance gives him the attack speed to melt a target, the core problem is that both heroes are greedy carries. They compete for the same farm across the map, which can slow down the timings for both Faceless Void and Troll. This leaves your team vulnerable in the mid-game, as opponents can pressure knowing you have two cores that need space and items. If the game goes late and both are farmed, the combo can secure a fight, but getting to that point is the real challenge, making the pairing unreliable.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
