Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan wins the Lycan vs Magnus matchup: Lycan beats Magnus in 54.96% of 282 ranked matches.
Fighting into Magnus can feel a bit awkward for Lycan. A lot of Lycan's early and mid-game pressure relies on his summons, which Magnus can often clear efficiently with Shockwave and cleave from Empower. In a full teamfight, a well-timed Skewer can pull Lycan off his intended target, breaking his momentum. Reverse Polarity provides a reliable lockdown if Lycan commits too hard to the back line. This isn't a hard counter; a farmed Lycan can still split the map effectively and avoid Magnus. However, Magnus consistently has tools to disrupt Lycan's primary plan, making it difficult for him to simply run at the enemy team.
