Troll Warlord/Counters

Bad against...

 * Not only can Axe wreck Troll Warlord's farm early game, but with the right build, he can continuously pick him off a team fight late game.
 * Troll Warlord has a significant attack speed, which gives a higher chance to procc Axe's and tear off chunks of health from Troll Warlord due to his low HP.
 * Axe can "snipe" Troll Warlord and jump him when his casts his ultimate and possibly even catch many heroes who's attack speeds have been augmented and cause a Havoc due to his . Axe can then finish off with.


 * Troll Warlord's survivability relies on his ability to lifesteal with his high DPS and successfully emerge victorious from 1v1 scenarios or at least pick off a single enemy player before dying. This is when Ancient Apparition's ultimate comes to play; completely nullifies any healing Troll Warlord receives, thus limiting his survivability and turns it comparable to that of any other fragile hero, as well as dealing massive magical damage which will soften Troll Warlord for the enemy to finish him off.
 * Ancient Apparition can also significantly slow Troll Warlord with his to prevent him from getting too close to his teammates or running away with his Berserker's Rage and successfully kite him if he switches to melee mode, and keeping him disabled with his  while dealing significant damage, should Troll Warlord get confused between running away and staying.

 * Before he can realise it, Troll Warlord will tear off a chunk of his Health if an enemy activates . If the only targets close enough to Troll Warlord are ones that have Blade Mail activated, Troll Warlord won't have a target to focus on to lifesteal, and is forced to either retreat or eventually die from the attacks of his enemies.
 * Troll Warlord relies solely and on his attack damage to output a lot of damage while maintaining his own survival. will completely disarm Troll Warlord and turn him harmless while his enemies focus him/attempt to escape by blinking or teleporting away.  can also manage to disarm Troll Warlord for 5 seconds should he switch to ranged.
 * is generally better than heaven's halberd on Troll Warlord, because it's duration is more consistent and doesn't rely on Troll Warlord's current attacking state and provides a longer disarm (along with silencing and muting Troll Warlord) duration should Troll Warlord be in melee range within someone. also guarantees that Troll Warlord won't escape by setting his base movement speed to 100 and preventing him from using any escape items such as.
