Thrall's stronger maps Thrall's average maps Thrall's weaker maps Thanks to his strong self-sustain, Thrall excels when played as Solo Laner on Maps where this Role has more value than usual (for example Braxis Holdout); however, he can also be played in the 4-man using the Crash Lightning Build on Maps where team fights tend to last longer than usual (such as Volskaya Foundry). Due to his low waveclear, he is average on Maps where it is common to double soak (like Towers of Doom) but can compensate for it thanks to his team fight power and he suffers on Maps where he cannot benefit from his team fight power to compensate for that weakness (only Tomb of the Spider Queen).

6. Thrall's Tips and Tricks

7.

Bruisers like Thrall are capable of initiating team fights, which makes them a powerful Hero in many games.

Even if some players like to play him as solo laner, the best way to play Thrall in the current metagame is not that, but as second Assassin in the 4-man group.

While melee Heroes are in a risky position during team fights, fortunately for Thrall, he can become quite durable as the game goes thanks to strong defensive Talents (such as Ancestral Wrath at Level 7 and Frostwolf's Grace at Level 13). If you position properly and do not go too far from your backline, your Healer will help you survive for longer as well.
