How this matchup plays
Picking one summon-pusher into the other is a risky choice, because one of you will usually be better at it. Lycan's game plan is more direct and aggressive than Chen's. His wolves are better fighters than most neutral creeps, and Howl makes his whole team a threat. While Chen wants to build map presence, Lycan wants to end the game, and Shapeshift gives him the speed to run past any controlled creeps and kill Chen directly. Admittedly, it's not a common matchup, so there might be approaches people haven't figured out yet.
