How Legion Commander and Phoenix perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Legion Commander and Phoenix win 60.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 894 matches.
Drafting these two heroes together creates a classic and brutal initiation that’s hard for enemies to solve. Legion Commander can Blink in for a Duel on a key target, and Phoenix immediately follows with Icarus Dive into a Supernova right on top of the fight. The enemy team is presented with a terrible choice: either focus the Supernova and let Legion win her Duel, or try to save their ally and eat a massive stun from the egg. Combined with the attack speed slow from Fire Spirits, the Duel target has almost no chance of winning the one-on-one fight.
This combination dictates the entire pace of the mid-game. Opponents have to play cautiously and avoid showing alone, as the threat of this combo turning any gank into a won teamfight is always present. The main counterplay is to try and burst one of the pieces down before the other can react, either by chain-stunning Legion Commander before she can act or having enough coordinated damage to instantly kill the Supernova. Lacking a clear plan to deal with it, teams tend to bleed kills and let Legion Commander snowball out of control.
