How Legion Commander and Lina perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Legion Commander and Lina win 54.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,554 matches.
Setting up a Duel with Light Strike Array is the main idea for this pair. Once Legion Commander has an enemy locked down, Lina can unload her full combo from a safe distance, potentially securing the kill with Laguna Blade. This can give Legion Commander a steady stream of early damage. The plan depends entirely on timing and positioning. If Lina misses her stun or the enemy has a way to survive the initial burst, the entire sequence can fall apart, leaving Legion Commander to fight the Duel on her own without the expected support.
Their game plan revolves around finding pickoffs on key targets. Lina stays behind Legion Commander, waiting for the Duel to start before committing her spells. This works well against lone heroes who can't withstand the focused damage. The problem is that Lina is a fragile hero and an obvious target. Smart opponents will try to jump on her first to prevent the combo, or use defensive items on the Duelled ally to save them from Lina's burst. When that happens, the fight often goes badly as Legion Commander is left without the backup she was counting on.
