How Ogre Magi and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ogre Magi and Troll Warlord win 57.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 754 matches.
Thinking a carry needs a support with a big save is a common mistake. Troll Warlord's goal is to end the fight before he needs saving, and Ogre Magi enables this perfectly. Bloodlust gives Troll a massive, permanent-uptime boost to his attack and movement speed, letting him build Fervor stacks almost instantly and chase down anyone. While Troll is locked onto a target during Battle Trance, Ogre can provide a reliable Fireblast stun on any secondary threat that tries to interfere. Ogre is also tanky enough to stand in the middle of the fight and keep casting, ensuring the buffs and stuns keep coming.
This partnership comes online early and never really falls off. In lane, Ogre's durability and lockdown can easily secure kills for Troll Warlord. By the mid-game, a Bloodlusted Troll can farm at an accelerated pace and take objectives like Roshan much sooner than expected. The enemy team is forced to find ways to kite Troll, which is difficult against the constant move speed bonus from Bloodlust. If they can't burst him down from a distance, he'll run them over before they can react.
