Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Legion Commander wins the Legion Commander vs Witch Doctor matchup: Legion Commander beats Witch Doctor in 51.24% of 3,429 ranked matches.
Trying to burst Witch Doctor seems straightforward, but he's surprisingly resilient against a solo gank. A well-timed Paralyzing Cask can stop Legion Commander's initiation before she can even get Duel off. Even if she does lock him down, a pre-cast Maledict means she might lose more health than she gains. Both heroes excel at deleting one target, which is why they work so well on the same team. When facing each other, it's a standoff to see who can execute their single-target burst first and with better support.
The mid-game becomes a tense hunt. Legion Commander wants to find Witch Doctor out of position for an easy Duel victory to start her snowball. This forces the Witch Doctor to play much more defensively, relying on his team's vision and his own positioning to stay safe. If Legion can be baited into a bad Duel, however, Witch Doctor's spells are perfectly suited to punish the commitment. The fight can swing dramatically based on whether Legion gets a clean kill or if Witch Doctor survives the initial jump to turn the tables with his own powerful ultimate.
