How Lone Druid and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lone Druid and Troll Warlord win 48.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 621 matches.
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.
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.
