How Primal Beast and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Troll Warlord win 51.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,218 matches.
Getting slammed down by Primal Beast's Pulverize is a nightmare when Troll Warlord is standing by. The long, single-target lockdown creates the perfect situation for Troll to build up his Fervor stacks and tear through an enemy without them being able to run. A good Onslaught can set up this pick-off from a long way away. The weakness is how predictable this can be. If the enemy team has Force Staffs, Glimmer Capes, or other saves, they can often rescue the target and leave Primal Beast isolated. After the initial charge, both heroes can be kited, meaning the success of the whole fight often hinges on that first lockdown connecting cleanly.
