How this matchup plays
Choosing to run Lycan at a Muerta hinges on who gets the jump and which cooldowns are available. Lycan’s entire game plan of overwhelming a target with Shapeshift can be completely stonewalled if Muerta has Pierce the Veil ready. She becomes immune to his physical damage, wasting his most important cooldown and leaving him vulnerable. However, if Shapeshift is used to catch Muerta when her ultimate is down, her lack of an escape means she dies quickly to his pack. The Calling provides a decent counter-initiation tool for Muerta against the summons, but the fight is usually decided by that key ultimate trade, making the outcome highly dependent on timing and vision.
