Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight wins the Chaos Knight vs Lycan matchup: Chaos Knight beats Lycan in 52.56% of 936 ranked matches.
Fighting into Chaos Knight as Lycan often feels like you're playing a guessing game. During Shapeshift, Lycan wants to focus down one hero, but Phantasm creates multiple high-damage threats that he can't clear on his own. He's forced to either try and guess which one is the real Chaos Knight or get overwhelmed by the illusions and their damage. A well-timed Reality Rift can also pull Lycan in, disrupting his charge and making him an easy target for a full illusion surround. This advantage isn't absolute, as Lycan’s early objective pressure with his wolves can certainly end the game before Chaos Knight gets strong. In a straight-up brawl, however, Chaos Knight's kit is simply better equipped to handle a powerful, single-target melee hero.
