q is best for the 2 second bash duration!! and the move speed.

unless you will literally afk farm for the first 20 minutes, q is always better. And troll should be played aggressively in general, he isn't an afk farm hero

I pretty much always dual offlane troll, so I go for q. I would say that in most cases going for q first is better. The increased kill potential will most likely always pay off, since you should use the fact that troll is a really strong laner and try to kill whoever you are up against as often as possible. And since you also get movespeed from q it will also increase your farm speed by a little bit. Only time I would go e first is if I am not laning against anyone at all, since it would help me take their towers faster.

I mean, is not lvl1 fervor gives like half of the benefit of lvl4 in a phase of the game when getting damage nets larger gain than AS? q sounds better imo, even for farming.

Max W and then Q with a value point in E.

Blindly following common builds on dotabuff is following your average 2k player.

Max QW>WE. You can still solo rosh at level 11 with lvl1 fervor, it will take like a minute though. Checked with phase/hotd/aquila and without any creep buffs. I assume it would work with less items/levels if you get the frost armor creep.

Anybody see Bananaslamjamma's Jungle Troll Build? He posted a vid on YouTube. He got some favorable camps in the video but comes out level 6 by like 5 minutes which is pretty quick as far as I can tell. Curious for someone's more experienced opinion....

As legit as any other jungling carries, so expect to be fucked over in CM matches and pubs higher than ~4.5k mmr. Also if they don't have a jungler of their own, your team will probably be heavily underfarmed before you get relevant. Just the reality of playing 4v5.

Get a shadow blade or a blink later in the game and bash his face in.

Don't know what is going on over 4.5K but jungle troll is really legit and you don't have to wait 25 minuted before entering the game. Troll rarely needs mana during jungling and can contribute with his ulti. In addition to that, value point on slow rekts enemy lanes against clueless players. The only real danger is a zoned out offlaner don't give a fuck about the game and going full parasite on you which you can alleviate the problem by bullying their easy lane and mid annoyance. After mask online, he is pretty much on par(slightly below probably but it is ok) with safe lane farm if uncontested.

Especially if the enemy team and your mates trade kills and efficiency equally, it is possible to get out of the jungle more farmed.

The only thing I focus on is keep the farm online, not commit every fight and keep the efficiency until 3rd item(boots + something + something bigger, phase+hotd+sb i.e)

Playing 4v5 lanes in early game doesn't have to be in heavily underfarmed situation depends on the picks. There are good picks can handle 2 man easy lane and 1 man offlane with a proper not losing(mostly winning) mid lane which allows you go actually get better in mid to late game by preserving tricore setup eventually hit harder in pubs.

I believe what you mention may possible if you cannot sustain easy lane against a retarded offlane (lich + something annoying) while the enemy safelane grab every last hit and mid got ganked 4 times in 10 minutes. Otherwise with a good jungler troll, you should be ahead in xp if not in farm.

To be honest, in 3k dota where no one knows how to farm and peole just run around trying to kill shit, thats probably fine.

The real problem with jungling troll is you are jingling probably the best laning carry in the game atm. He is so stupidly strong in lane. It's wasted potential.

Sniper is the best laning carry in the game nowadays, i thought we all agreed on that. It's a wasted potential, obviously, but it's greed can totally overcompensate for it.

I've been forced into the jungle before by 5-carries line up (even buying courier... -_-) and it is usually ok. Not Enigma levels of farm and levels, but ok. Probably faster than level 1 naix which is so common......

I think troll's better in safe lane/ dual lanes. Axes OP. And troll can threaten rosh and rotate to the jungle between waves, sniper can't do it as quickly. Sniper kind of wants mid solo.

Problem is their offlaner will get a favourable 2v1. If troll is in the 2v1, it suddenly isn't favorable because troll is a beast

But then again, if their offlaner can't straight out dominate the 2v1, your greed pays off. And let's be honest, troll does not farm slowly even in teh jungle (i mean, for the sake of test i did hit 5:30 dominator out of cliff jungling).

I don't know if I've ever played a pub game where there wasn't a lane for me to go to, and we needed another greedy farming hero.

Like, it's not that Troll is bad at jungling, but if the lanes you could put Troll in already have other heroes laning there, chances are it's because they're all already farming heroes and your team needs a tempo hero in the jungle, not another farmer.

There's definitely tempo safe lane heroes like Slardar or farming Centaur, so if you're playing with that it's probably fine, but you don't see that often in pubs.

Well, my pubs on average have a Slardar or Centaur every second game.
