How Legion Commander and Templar Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Legion Commander and Templar Assassin win 50.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 878 matches.
The idea is usually that Templar Assassin provides the burst to secure a Duel victory for Legion Commander. In reality, this can be awkward. To hit the Duel target, Templar Assassin often has to stand in a bad spot where the enemy team can easily focus her. This shreds through her Refraction charges almost instantly, leaving her vulnerable right as the fight breaks out. Duel creates a concentrated brawl, which is the opposite of the hit-and-run style TA prefers. Instead of setting her up for clean kills or good Psi Blades angles, it forces her into a messy trade she's not built to win.
