Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Anti-Mage wins the Anti-Mage vs Lycan matchup: Anti-Mage beats Lycan in 52.17% of 2,421 ranked matches.
Dealing with a Lycan deathball is a race against the clock, and Anti-Mage has the tools to stretch that clock out. While Lycan wants to group with his team and run down a lane, Anti-Mage can use Blink to safely apply pressure on the opposite side of the map. This forces Lycan’s team to either trade towers, which buys time for AM to farm, or split up to defend, which breaks their momentum. If the game goes late, Lycan and his allies tend to cluster together, making them prime targets for a multi-hero Mana Void. The whole plan depends on surviving Lycan's early aggression, but if you can, your map-wide pressure counters his one-track mind.
