Strategy

Use Whirling Axes to secure ranged creep lasthits and harass the opponents at the same time.

Avoid switching targets in engagements as you'll lose Fervor stacks.

Avoid popping Battle Trance too early in fights as you might get kited. Use it later, on disabled unit or defensively.

Troll can take Roshan early on even by himself. Use Battle Trance if necessary to heal up.

Consider Aghanim's Scepter in the mid-late game phase to keep yourself unkillable with dispels.

Counter Strategy

Items that pierce evasion are good against Troll's Whirling Axes (relevant for Melee heroes).

Troll Warlord is able to take Roshan early on. Ward and check Roshan.

Aghanim's Scepter makes Troll's Whirling Axes apply basic dispel on him and opponents.

Lore

It's an easy thing to offend a troll. A prickly and contentious race, trolls thrive on argument and strife, missing no excuse to raise their voices in dispute. Males grow to maturity in subterranean chambers beneath their matriarch's domicile, feeding and amusing themselves while contributing nothing. Often they stay for years beyond the age of maturity, while the matriarch provides them with sustenance. When young trolls are finally pushed from their sub-chamber, they gather with others of their kind, forming roving gangs of malcontents who complain loudly about all manner of vexation.

As much as trolls love to argue, imagine how rare it is for a troll to be driven from his own kind for being too difficult to get along with. Such was Jah'rakal's fate, a monger troll from deep in the Hoven. So deluded was he, so bitter and abrasive, that even other trolls found his company intolerable. After one particularly vitriolic outburst in which he claimed the lion's share of loot from their latest raid, his cohorts finally snapped. They turned on him, beat him with clubs, and drove him from the encampment. Enraged at his banishment, he returned the next day, armed with steel, and slew them all, one by one. He then swore a blood oath: he would ever after be a fighting force unto himself. Now he roams the world as the Troll Warlord, bitter and angry, the Imperial high commander of an army of one.
