How Underlord and Legion Commander perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Legion Commander win 54.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,911 matches.
Getting caught by Legion Commander is a lot worse when an Underlord is nearby. The combo is straightforward: Pit of Malice can root a target, making it a free setup for Legion to initiate a Duel. While they're locked in combat, Underlord’s Firestorm rains down, adding a significant amount of damage that the enemy can't escape. Atrophy Aura also works in Legion's favor, reducing the Duel target's damage output and making the victory that much more likely. It provides a solid foundation for Legion to get her damage bonus.
This pairing usually comes online once Legion Commander acquires her Blink Dagger. From that point on, the duo can apply constant pressure, hunting for isolated heroes and turning them into easy Duel wins. Underlord's presence forces the enemy team to play much more carefully, as anyone out of position can be locked down and eliminated. The plan isn't foolproof, though. A team with strong saves can turn a Duel, and if Underlord gets silenced or focused down first, Legion is left without her primary setup, which keeps the synergy from being overwhelming.
