How Storm Spirit and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Storm Spirit and Troll Warlord win 49.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,415 matches.
Picking both Storm Spirit and Troll Warlord together puts a lot of pressure on your supports to provide control. On paper, Storm can use Electric Vortex to lock down a single enemy, giving Troll Warlord a window to run in and build up his Fervor stacks. The issue is that this is usually their only point of direct interaction. In messy teamfights, Storm often wants to dive deep into the enemy backline, while Troll may be stuck hitting a durable frontliner. Their target priorities often diverge, leaving them to execute their own plans separately. Since neither hero offers the other much setup or protection, their success depends more on individual snowballing than on a cohesive strategy.
