How Huskar and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Huskar and Troll Warlord win 49.29% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,899 matches.
Facing down two heroes who both want to run at you can be intimidating. The initial aggression from Huskar and Troll Warlord feels threatening, as both want to take over the mid-game by being the raid boss. The problem is they want to do it in the same way. Both heroes need to be the center of attention, farming aggressively and demanding the team play around their BKB timing. This means they often compete for space and priority rather than enabling each other. Troll Warlord doesn't offer the kind of save that lets Huskar play more recklessly, and Huskar's Life Break setup is redundant with Troll's own catch. The draft becomes all-in on one strategy with little flexibility if things go wrong.
