How Earth Spirit and Legion Commander perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earth Spirit and Legion Commander win 55.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 856 matches.
Getting caught out by this pair feels like you can't step out of position for a second. Earth Spirit provides some of the best long-range setup in the game for Legion Commander. A Rolling Boulder into a Boulder Smash kick can isolate a key target and deliver them right to her. This gives Legion Commander an easy window to cast Duel on an enemy that's already stunned and separated from their team, making the fight much more likely to go her way from the very start.
The duo's main goal is to control the mid-game by constantly hunting for these pick-offs. A good start for Earth Spirit lets him roam freely, creating Duel opportunities that snowball Legion Commander's damage. This forces the enemy team to play defensively and group up earlier than they'd want, slowing their farm and map movement. To deal with this, you need excellent vision to spot the rotations and heroes who can either save the Dueled target or turn and punish the aggressive positioning of the two initiators.
