How Dawnbreaker and Legion Commander perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dawnbreaker and Legion Commander win 57.60% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 375 matches.
A common mistake is thinking Solar Guardian is too slow to react to a gank. With Legion Commander on the team, it's not a rescue ability; it’s a kill setup. The moment Legion initiates a Duel, Dawnbreaker can start channeling her ultimate right on top of them. The target is locked in place, so the travel time is irrelevant. When Dawnbreaker lands, her stun and burst damage make it extremely difficult for the dueled hero to survive, securing the win and the bonus damage for Legion. Any enemies nearby also get hit by the landing, disrupting their attempts to help.
This combination forces the opponent to play scared. Once Legion Commander gets a Blink Dagger, any hero caught alone is a potential free kill. The enemy team has to stay grouped up, which gives your team control over the rest of the map. Dawnbreaker can be farming a completely different lane and still contribute to a pickoff anywhere. This constant pressure from the mid-game onwards suffocates the other team, making it hard for them to farm safely or make proactive plays of their own. They're always reacting to your initiations.
