Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Earth Spirit wins the Earth Spirit vs Lycan matchup: Earth Spirit beats Lycan in 50.58% of 3,130 ranked matches.
Kicking Lycan away with Boulder Smash is one of the few ways to reposition him during Shapeshift, which can save a core or a tower. Earth Spirit excels at disrupting Lycan’s deathball push by stunning him with Rolling Boulder and silencing him with Geomagnetic Grip to prevent him from using items or re-summoning wolves. Magnetize also spreads through his entire army, applying consistent damage and a slow that helps kite the non-immune units. However, this advantage is fragile. Lycan is immune to slows in his ultimate, and once he gets a Black King Bar, most of Earth Spirit’s control is nullified, allowing him to run free.
