How Medusa and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Troll Warlord win 44.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 672 matches.
Struggling for farm across the map is the main story for this pair. Both Medusa and Troll Warlord are greedy cores who need a lot of gold to hit their peaks, so they end up competing for lane and jungle creeps. This inevitably delays key items for both, weakening their individual power spikes. Troll Warlord wants to force fights and be aggressive with Battle Trance in the mid-game, but Medusa is often still trying to build the items she needs to sustain with Mana Shield. While having two major damage threats can eventually overwhelm an opponent, getting to that point is a real challenge when both cores are underfarmed.
