Troll has seen a pretty massive increase in pick rate at my MMR at least. And unlike some other fotm-picks this one seems to do really well. His ulti is actually so good. Pushing, teamfighting, roshing, ganking, you name it. Amazing utility. And a troll team with 2-3 rightclicker will just deal stupid amounts of damage during those secs. Seeing an axe die in ~2sec during +40 armor call was pretty funny.

I think I have found two bugs while playing troll.

1 - Troll can miss uphill in melee form;

2 - Using phase and then changing stance from melee to ranged or vice versa cancels the phase effect prematurely.

Anyone know how to search if these are already known bugs or something?

I though this was a "non-action"... And what about the uphill miss chance while melee?

You probably were in the midst of switching because you can't miss uphill while in melee form--just tested it.

I started experimenting diffusal blade on troll and its incredible. You probably wanna get this after bkb and helm of dom which isnt very hard, it is a significant dps increase on him at all stage during the game especially with the increase cap on IAS.

For securing up time on my target, I have always hated items such as S&Y on Troll as although it is quite a decent mid game timing item, it quickly fall off and become both slot and cost inefficient very fast, Troll scale too well with item to waste a slot on something that provide mediocre utility, mediocre damage and mediocre tanking. I used to get skadi for reliable slow but it just provide too little damage to be worth a slot, and now with Diffusal blade you will get decently reliable slow (has a greater cast range than your attack range, but can be dispelled/does not affect magic immune target), with a much safer and useful build up.

Plus nowadays the Dispell aspect of purge has become close to mandatory now, the manaburn scale disgustingly well, in late game you will notice your opponent losing his manapool during a bash faster than vs a PL.

I really think diffusal should be acquired prior to satanic/mkb and quite frankly straight up replace S&Y as your first big item.

DDDDD:< I knew diffusal was good on troll!

Though I'm hoping to see it more in practice before trying it out myself~

My problem with diffusal is that I'd rather be working toward something bigger by the time I'd be building it, which is after blink dagger and SNY.

I see it as an alternate build if the situation calls for it, but generally seen as inferior given its cost, limited charges, and lack of +HP.

Against mana intensive opponents it might be useful. Specially with a good initiator on your side.

Troll can burn through a LOT of mana in a short time spam.

Against Medusa it is a given. But even against a tide, for example, who is nearing a refresher it should be good if you don't have anyone else to build it.

And early on it can give a lot of killing power, level 6 (and onwards) troll can burn mana so quick one might not even be able to TP after the first second or two.

I think against tide diffusal doesnt matter, as the biggest factor will be if tide can initiate on you. if he gets a good first ravage, 2nd one will follow, unstoppable with diffusal imo..

Diffusal is situational.

Troll is a great diffusal hero, but he wants other things 90% of the time. Only get diffusal against certain things. VS omniknight it's great 3/4th item, same goes vs ghost scepters.

So...is legion commander a good teammate with troll? as soon as he grab blink and use it for 1st time you start to complement him throughout the rest of the game (both duel and battle trance have relatively short CD).

Vlads or Helm on Troll? I'm curious if anyone else has thoughts about this because I've tried it both ways and I'm not sure. I don't find myself dominating creeps with the helm all that often (and I feel I should) and vlads scales better into lategame, leaves the attack modifier open and builds off Ring of basilius which I like to have early. But I find that helm's 20 damage is very useful to have in the early game compared to Vlad's ~10, plus helm of iron will is good if having trouble in lane.
