How Legion Commander and Storm Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Legion Commander and Storm Spirit win 48.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,166 matches.
Facing a gank from these two can be disorienting. Both Legion Commander and Storm Spirit want to be the one to initiate and secure a kill, but their kits don't amplify each other. Storm Spirit relies on Ball Lightning to get on top of a target for a quick magical burst. Legion Commander wants to lock a target down with Duel to win damage. While Storm can help kill the Duel target, his mobile, high-risk playstyle doesn't offer the unique utility or safety that other heroes can provide during the duel. They are two solo-minded killers who often step on each other's toes.
This lack of synergy plays out in the mid-game, where both heroes want to be active. Instead of coordinating, they often end up splitting the map and hunting for their own kills. Storm might find a solo pickoff before Legion Commander can get there to Duel, or Legion will commit to a Duel that Storm isn't in a position to assist with. There's little setup or follow-up between them. A team with both heroes is essentially betting on two independent, high-stakes cores to win their own separate games without much help from one another.
