How Puck and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Puck and Troll Warlord win 41.18% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 170 matches.
Taking objectives with this duo can feel out of sync. Puck excels at creating chaos and forcing enemies to scatter with Dream Coil, which should set up a carry to clean up. The problem is that once Troll Warlord commits with Battle Trance, he's locked onto a single hero and can't swap targets to punish anyone breaking the leash. This means a core part of Puck's ultimate is often wasted, making their teamfights less coordinated than they look on paper. This pairing is pretty rare right now, so it's hard to be certain.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
