How this matchup plays

Trying to group up with wolves and take a tower is a tough prospect when a Kunkka is on the map. A single Tidebringer swing can clear out the summons that Lycan relies on for damage, heavily slowing his push and teamfight presence. Even if Lycan commits with Shapeshift to run at a target, Kunkka can use X Marks the Spot to completely neutralize his charge and pull him back to his original spot. This control makes it incredibly difficult for Lycan to find his target or escape after an engagement. While Lycan’s raw pushing power can still be a problem, Kunkka has multiple direct answers to his game plan.
