How Legion Commander and Phantom Lancer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Legion Commander and Phantom Lancer win 54.82% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,253 matches.
Drafting a core to play alongside Legion Commander often means finding someone who can protect her during a Duel. Phantom Lancer excels at this. When Legion Commander commits to a Duel, the enemy's immediate plan is to turn and burst her down. Phantom Lancer completely scrambles that response. A well-timed Doppelganger can flood the fight with illusions, making it a nightmare for opponents to target anyone correctly. They are forced to waste crucial spells and attention on the clones while LC secures her damage bonus. This chaos consistently turns a risky one-for-one trade into a clean kill and a won teamfight.
