Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light wins the Keeper of the Light vs Lycan matchup: Keeper of the Light beats Lycan in 51.91% of 183 ranked matches.
Getting run down by Lycan and his wolves is a serious problem for an immobile hero like Keeper of the Light. Shapeshift lets Lycan bypass the frontline and get on top of KotL, interrupting Illuminate and often leading to a fast kill. Blinding Light can create some distance, but it’s rarely enough to escape a full charge. Still, we haven't seen this matchup much, so it could easily depend on the other nine heroes picked. If KotL can play from the back, he can still make Lycan's life difficult by clearing creep waves and slowing down his pushes.
