How this matchup plays
Picking Leshrac early feels like a big risk when Lycan might be on the table. The core problem is how Lycan’s army interacts with Leshrac’s entire kit. Leshrac wants enemies to clump around him for Pulse Nova, but Lycan’s wolves have strong magic resistance and will spread out to surround and kill him. There's no good target for Diabolic Edict, and trying to land Split Earth on a Shapeshifted Lycan is nearly impossible. He's simply too fast. A mid-game Lycan can run straight at Leshrac, ignore most of his damage, and secure an easy kill before moving on to take a tower. Leshrac has no real answer to this kind of direct assault.
