shes better with lower levels of MoC now but has lower potential damage in a duel now

so, yeah, shes probably a little better with level 1 MoC in the jungle. A lot of jungle legions don't even skill overwhelming odds (bad idea that skill owns, esp against new pl) so you have the potential to walk out of the jungle at 11 with max Press the Attack and Moment of Courage, which is still good damage.

In terms of new builds I imagine it's still largely the same. Blink is still good, shadowblade MIGHT be more worthwhile with the new Silver Edge, given that you can disable PA blur or void backtrack, or even troll fervor, pretty much for the duration of your ult (no scepter). The scepter upgrade I don't see being all that worthwhile though. Maybe if you are playing against like a medusa and build tanky to just hold her down while your team kills her, but that's simple enough without the aghs. Maybe you can buy the new solar crest (super medallion)? For a while I was playing offlane slark with a medallion and using medallion on supports and purging the debuff off myself. It worked really well and it might work on legion with her purge. Being able to have evasion on a hero like that is probably pretty good. BoTs were already pretty good on her (tp to every fight) and they might be even better now. Deso got buffed too, which is pretty decent on her. Can't forget blademail. Blademail duel will kill an AM every time.

The hero still suffers from the same issue that she always did: its hard for her to win duels solo (particularly early)

One thing that I've done with my friend is pick skywrath with legion. REALLY easy for him to land the ult and more or less guarantees the victory unless you go in 2v4 or some similar dumb shit.

I remember running beastmaster/skywrath at one point. it wouldn't be the worst combo possible to have those two in safe lane while legion hits creeps in the jungle.

>>2351

Legion Commander is a mid hero. Max odds by 7, MoC is shit early game since, guess what, you don't have damage or attack speed. Early game, abuse the extra movement speed from odds to get free hits on the enemy mid, which is probably a shadow fiend or another shit ranged hero with low armor and low base damage which relies on spells and harass to win the lane.

Focus on rushing a blink and blademail after your bottle, and shutting down the enemy right clicker. Have an active team which can fight in the enemy jungle instead of letting the enemy play 4p1 while some inbred fuck playing antimage backdoors. Skywrath guarantees your duel target dies. Tiny replaces your blink dagger while dealing a lot of damage to towers by just using toss.

>given that you can disable PA blur

PAs will literally kill themselves with your blademail + Damage from odds. If the enemy right clicker somehow got fed and there's nobody you can duel, realize there's nothing you can do and get a ghost scepter and head to AFK farm ancients/jungle.

>She's supposedly better at jungling

Nigger you have an AoE nuke which boosts your movespeed.

The only jungling you'll do is using odds on a jungle camp with 4 stacks of mobs for a faster blink dagger.

It's critical to get good at animation cancelling when ganking with shadowblade. You need to cancel the backswing on the attack (0.64 backswing) and then the backswing on Press The Attack (0.83 backswing in addition to 0.3 cast time) ASAP to combo right. At level 7 with boots and a shadowblade legion should do a bit over 800 phys damage by smashing someone out of invis, pressing the attack, and ulting in their face. But if you're lousy at animation cancelling the enemy will easily have a full second or longer between your attack and your ult cast at which point he's probably already run off and you can't get your full combo.

So you've got to make it fucking instant reflex to pop W immediately as soon as you hit him then pop R as immediately as the buff icon goes up. I use quick-casting hotkeys so I don't have to do mouse clicks.
