How this matchup plays
Trying to control the map as Puck can feel uncomfortable when a Lycan is on the other team. The constant split-push pressure from Lycan and his summons forces reactions, creating opportunities for him to find pickoffs. While Puck is normally very slippery, a Lycan in Shapeshift has the movement speed to close the distance. If Lycan gets his core items on time, he can often ignore spells like Dream Coil and Waning Rift to finish the kill. This makes it risky for Puck to play aggressively. However, Puck's ability to kite is still a factor, and with good positioning he can survive ganks, which keeps the matchup from being completely one-sided.
