How this matchup plays
Thinking about picking Brewmaster late in the draft can be risky if Lycan is still on the board. Lycan's strategy of constant map pressure forces Brewmaster into uncomfortable positions, often having to use his ultimate defensively. During a full teamfight, the problem gets worse. When Brewmaster casts Primal Split, Lycan can simply ignore the spirits. In Shapeshift form, he is fast enough to run straight past them to kill the back line. Alternatively, Lycan can turn his pack of wolves on the spirits themselves, chewing through them with physical damage and ending the ultimate's duration early. This leaves Brewmaster exposed and vulnerable when he reforms.
