Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lycan wins the Drow Ranger vs Lycan matchup: Lycan beats Drow Ranger in 52.97% of 6,707 ranked matches.
Thinking Lycan automatically runs over a Drow Ranger often misses how the fight actually plays out. His goal is simple: use Shapeshift to get on top of Drow and turn off her Marksmanship bonus. If he connects, she's in trouble. However, Drow Ranger's Gust is the perfect tool to stop this. A well-timed Gust can silence Lycan before he uses his BKB and knock back his entire assault, creating space for her to kite him with Frost Arrows. The fight really depends on vision and positioning. If Lycan gets a clean jump from the fog, Drow probably dies. If she sees him coming, he can struggle to even reach her.
