How Troll Warlord and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord and Warlock win 51.47% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,747 matches.
Landing a big Chaotic Offering creates an ideal setup for Troll Warlord. The AoE stun holds enemies in place, letting him close the gap and start hitting without being kited. Warlock can then follow up with Fatal Bonds, which turns Troll’s high-speed single-target focus into team-wide damage. Adding Upheaval to the mix makes it even harder for enemies to escape. The combination works best in coordinated teamfights where their long cooldowns are used together. Outside of those big ultimate moments, their kits don't overlap as much, and Warlock doesn't provide the kind of instant save that can rescue Troll if he gets focused after Battle Trance ends.
