[need] playing as legion commander - tips

[Cpt. F****ace]

Hello.

I've played like 5 matches with Legion Commander. First 2-3 matches were terrible and my last one was great for me. Could you give me any tips how can I play her? I play only in jungle and go for blink dagger then blade mail which let me win most of duels. Then its AC and deso. But... I still don't know how to act in teamfights. I activate blade-mail, w, blinking to carry, duel him, win and... what next? I feel really confused when there is teamfight when I don't have ult.

Regards.

Basically you don't duel at the start, you let somone go to near death and then duel them, either mid or late game.

Don't duel at the start until you snowball and 2 hit everyone but their posistion 1 and 2

First your duel can used differently in lategame, either ez point farm on support OR as a disable for their annoying core (like a slark, so he can be nuked down and cant eat supports).
When duel is not available, then you have to just 'rightclick' people to death. For this its often useful to hit a good overwhelming odds (so you chase down also the spell does more damage, when it hits more targets).

Yeah, I mostly duel at a beggining to make sure that target won't run away. I don't want to be that guy who kill-steals with ult. But many times when I ult as first the duel ends and the target is 100-200hp left... so I guess I'll just duel at squishy heroes or someone with less than 1/2hp.

Don't play her in the jungle and I'll like you.
As for duels, I think instead of initiating, which is dangerous, you should pick targets that are dying. Use it to get damage and not as lockdown on someone.

And kill steal is stupid. Don't care about that. The main thing is getting the duels, not who kills.

So where? Middle? I find it a best way, I can't play melee at any lane, I feel really confused because I can't farm/deny and I do't like agressive way of playing. Also going jungle means that I should go for W/E which has great syngery with duel. Q (as mostly guides recommend it for lane build) doesn't help me with stacking passive from ult.

here is where you go wrong
blade mail don't get that unless your vs someone with a high damage like ursa, axe, huskar
get armlet if your not vs those heroes

[Multi]

unless you have a nuker directly next to you and are magic immune, dont duel people who are at full health. at the beginning you want to join teamfights and duel those who are just below death. once you reach about 50 damage you can start dueling whoever

[Blind]

LC WANTS to kill steal, that's her whole bag.

With that much pure AD you want as much attack speed as possible, maybe an early Maelstrom (for single target effectiveness)

Okey, I'll go for blink dagger, armlet, AC, deso this time. Wish me luck!

jungle is probably the worst lane anyone can go with her. pray tell, how do you level up her?

I am not sure what you mean by that. If you're talking about skills its E/W/Q. If it was supposed to be a joke that I am underleveled in jungle, you're wrong. Actually playing and I am 3/1, doing great.

Dueling at the start is fine, as long as you have allied support. It's an easy way to stop someone casting thier spells, making you/your allies have to use regen/go back to base.

TL:DR Duel at start IF you have allied damage/nukers e.g. lion, lina, ss.

it's not about being underleved (a little bit), but a jungling LC does nothing to help her team early on. you can farm better on mid or offlane. LC jungle is extremely easy to shut down.

and the level part, i meant the spells. what spells do you pick first on her?

I am a really low player, ranking avg is 2.3k elo. I am not trying to play any higher and so far it's working. Definetly better with jungle that offlane (for me) as I would lose it and get underleveled.

hmm... well, whatever works with you. it's extremely inefficient and a poor way to play LC imo. especially if you igonre her pretty good nuke in favor of her other spells, that aren't very good in the early game, to afk jungle until you are lvl 6.
