Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lycan wins the Lina vs Lycan matchup: Lycan beats Lina in 50.89% of 11,408 ranked matches.
Assuming Lina can erase Lycan with her full combo is a common trap. Once Lycan triggers Shapeshift, he’s often moving too fast for Light Strike Array to be a reliable answer. If that stun misses, his speed and summons will quickly overwhelm a hero with no real escape. On the other hand, Lycan is not a durable hero and folds quickly to magic burst if he is controlled. A pre-emptive stun from Lina or setup from her allies is usually a death sentence for him. The fight often boils down to whether Lina can land her spell on the wolf; whoever executes their plan first usually wins the duel, making the outcome highly situational.
