How Phoenix and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phoenix and Troll Warlord win 53.06% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,926 matches.
Pairing these two often comes down to how you plan to win teamfights. Troll Warlord's extreme attack speed is excellent for defending a friendly Supernova. While enemies are forced to either hit the egg or flee the impending stun, Troll gets to freely attack them or punish whoever commits to destroying it. This creates a difficult choice for the opposition, especially since Phoenix provides the magic damage while Troll Warlord handles the physical. The coordination isn't always clean, however. Troll is a single-target hero and can't always save the egg from multiple attackers, and the two don't have much natural setup for each other before that point. It's a combination that hinges on one big cooldown working out.
