How Templar Assassin and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Templar Assassin and Troll Warlord win 40.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 100 matches.
Splitting the map for farm becomes a real problem when both of these cores hit their stride. Templar Assassin wants to clear ancient stacks and jungle camps to maintain her snowball, but Troll Warlord needs those same resources to build up for his own timing. This competition often leaves one or both heroes behind schedule. More importantly, they both contribute the same kind of physical damage. An opponent who sees both can stack armor and effectively counter the entire game plan. Without diverse damage or strong lockdown between them, they simply struggle to create the pressure needed to close out a game.
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.
