Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.

Picking a high-tempo pushing hero like Lycan into an enemy Ogre Magi is a recipe for frustration. Lycan's entire game plan revolves around using Shapeshift to run down a key target or pressure a tower with his army. Ogre Magi directly counters this with his basic kit. A simple Ignite slow cuts down Lycan's speed advantage, making him easy to kite, while Fireblast provides a reliable stun to interrupt his charge or channel. Ogre is also tanky enough to survive Lycan’s initial assault and turn the fight around. He effectively peels for his cores and prevents the snowballing tower damage that Lycan needs to secure a win, forcing fights that the wolf simply isn't built for.
