How Kunkka and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Troll Warlord win 49.02% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,930 matches.
Pairing a setup hero with Troll Warlord often presents a choice between control and chaos. Kunkka provides plenty of the former with X Marks the Spot and Torrent, creating a reliable catch on an enemy. However, Troll Warlord excels at the latter, wanting to activate Battle Trance and relentlessly chase a single target down. Kunkka’s combo can sometimes feel a bit slow for what Troll wants to do, but it can also provide the opening stun he needs to get started. The Ghostship damage reduction is a solid bonus for any front-liner, but it's a general benefit, not a specific combo piece. They can certainly function together, but their kits don't have a special interaction that makes the pairing stand out.
