Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter wins the Bounty Hunter vs Lycan matchup: Bounty Hunter beats Lycan in 50.77% of 130 ranked matches.
Relying on a single-target scout against Lycan can often feel like solving the wrong problem. You can apply Track to him, but you usually know where he is anyway: grouped with his wolves and pushing down a lane. Bounty Hunter wants to find and burst an isolated hero, but Lycan is rarely alone and is too durable to kill quickly. Getting close is also a huge risk, as Bounty Hunter himself is too fragile to survive a Shapeshifted Lycan turning on him with summons. While the bonus gold from a kill is always good, it might not be enough to compensate for the map control Lycan takes by force before your team can use that gold advantage.
