How Legion Commander and Slardar perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Legion Commander and Slardar win 53.03% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,553 matches.
Landing a Duel on a target already hit by Corrosive Haze is the whole game plan here. The armor reduction from Slardar makes it incredibly difficult for anyone to survive the one-on-one fight, feeding Legion Commander permanent damage from the victory. Slardar’s stun also offers a perfect setup, guaranteeing Legion can get her ultimate off on a key hero without them reacting. It’s a simple but effective physical damage combo that comes online as soon as both heroes have their ultimates.
This forces the enemy team to play reactively and stick together, which can slow down their farm and map control. Trying to save the Dueled target is tough because Slardar is right there, providing follow-up stuns and slowing anyone who tries to help. To counter this, opponents need strong defensive supports or items like Force Staff very early, otherwise Legion Commander snowballs out of control. It puts a ton of pressure on the map from the mid-game onward.
