How Earthshaker and Legion Commander perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Legion Commander win 55.84% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,968 matches.
Choosing a setup hero for Legion Commander often comes down to reliability. Earthshaker provides exactly that with his long-range initiation. A single Fissure cast from the fog is often enough to trap a target, letting Legion Commander walk up for a clean Duel without needing to risk a contested Blink Dagger initiation. This removes a lot of the guesswork from early ganks and makes it harder for slippery heroes to escape. While other supports might offer more raw damage, the simple, effective lockdown from Earthshaker helps Legion Commander start her snowball more consistently. Fissure can also be used to block off the enemy team from interfering once the Duel has started.
