Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan wins the Lycan vs Ringmaster matchup: Lycan beats Ringmaster in 53.98% of 1,193 ranked matches.
Picking Ringmaster can be a bit of a gamble if Lycan is still in the pool. Ringmaster’s game revolves around controlling specific heroes with his crowd-control tools and box tricks. The problem is that Lycan doesn't come alone. His wolves and other summons can scout ahead, trigger traps, or absorb spells intended for Lycan himself. This makes it difficult for Ringmaster to lock down the real threat during a Shapeshift push. While his abilities can still be a nuisance, Lycan's army often complicates Ringmaster's setup, giving his team a small but consistent opening to take objectives.
