How Mars and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Mars and Troll Warlord win 45.98% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 224 matches.
Struggling for map control heading into the mid-game can be a problem. Both heroes need a fair bit of farm to hit their timings, which can leave the rest of your team vulnerable and playing defensively. Even when Mars and Troll Warlord are ready to fight together, their abilities can conflict. Arena of Blood traps multiple enemies, but Troll’s Battle Trance locks him onto a single hero. If his target is a durable support or someone pushed against the Arena wall, Troll can't switch to a higher priority threat inside, wasting his ultimate and letting key enemies fight freely. It's an awkward setup that doesn't always deliver the kill it promises.
