How Tinker and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tinker and Troll Warlord win 48.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 250 matches.
Committing with Battle Trance leaves Troll Warlord in a very predictable spot, and Tinker lacks the right tools to make this work. While Laser's blind is helpful, Tinker provides no stuns or roots to hold a priority target down for Troll to focus. He also can't offer any frontline presence to peel for a Troll who gets kited after ulting. This fundamental disconnect extends to their overall game plans. Tinker wants to split-push the map and poke from extreme range, whereas Troll Warlord wants to group up and run at a single enemy. The team ends up with two greedy, independent cores who can't effectively enable each other during crucial mid-game fights.
