How Troll Warlord and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord and Winter Wyvern win 48.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,739 matches.
Committing with Battle Trance locks Troll Warlord onto a single enemy, which is where the trouble can start. Winter Wyvern’s own ultimate, Winter’s Curse, makes its target immune to damage from Troll’s team. Using it on Troll’s focus completely wastes his commitment and resets his Fervor stacks. Even a helpful Cold Embrace can be a problem; it saves Troll Warlord but also disarms him, preventing him from attacking and lifestealing through a fight. While Wyvern’s slows from Arctic Burn can help Troll find a target in the first place, their most powerful abilities require careful coordination to avoid actively working against each other during a teamfight.
