How this matchup plays
Fighting inside Mars's Arena of Blood is usually a bad time, but Lycan often plays a game where that teamfight never happens. Mars excels at forcing a five-on-five brawl, trapping key targets for his team to burst down. Lycan, however, would rather avoid that scene entirely. Using the extreme speed from Shapeshift, he can apply pressure across the map, forcing rotations and picking off isolated heroes. While Mars is looking for the perfect ultimate, Lycan and his summons are already hitting a tower or taking Roshan. He creates a pace that Mars struggles to keep up with, and his ability to split the map up undermines Mars's desire for a big, centered teamfight.
