Why this works
Pushing down towers early can create a lot of space for both of these cores to farm. Lone Druid and Troll Warlord excel at taking objectives, which can accelerate your team's economy. The Spirit Bear's root is also a decent setup, holding a target in place for Troll Warlord to commit with Battle Trance. The main issue is that they're both physical damage dealers who want to be the primary carry. This makes it much easier for the enemy team to build armor and counter both of you with the same items. The draft becomes very one-dimensional, putting a lot of pressure on your other heroes to provide all the magic damage and control needed to win fights.
