How this matchup plays

Trying to run down a Pangolier with Shapeshift is often a losing play. Lycan wants to commit his ultimate, connect with a target, and burst them down with his wolves, but Pangolier's kit is built to counter this. Swashbuckle lets him create space, while Shield Crash reduces the incoming physical damage. If Lycan overextends for a kill, a well-timed Rolling Thunder can turn the gank completely, stunning him and allowing for an easy escape or counter-attack. This same dynamic makes teamfights awkward, as Pangolier’s constant disruption makes it very difficult for Lycan to find and stick to a priority target.
