How Ringmaster and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ringmaster and Troll Warlord win 49.76% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,839 matches.
Controlling the map and securing objectives can feel a bit disconnected with this pairing. Ringmaster often looks to create big teamfight moments, using his abilities to draw multiple enemies into a trap. The issue is that Troll Warlord is fundamentally a single-target machine. He wants to pick one hero and overwhelm them with attacks, but he lacks the area damage to capitalize on a perfect multi-hero catch. While holding a key enemy in place is certainly helpful for Troll Warlord, the full potential of a big setup from Ringmaster is often lost, leading to fights that are less efficient than they could be.
