Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan wins the Lycan vs Wraith King matchup: Lycan beats Wraith King in 53.73% of 255 ranked matches.
Stalling out Lycan's game plan is the main story here. Lycan wants to use Shapeshift to take over the map, run at a key hero, and secure an objective. Against Wraith King, that primary target is a trap. Committing a full ultimate to kill him only to see him Reincarnate is a disaster for Lycan's tempo. The fight resets, but now Lycan's most important spell is on cooldown. Outside of those big ultimate clashes, Wraith King’s critical strikes can clear out the wolves and other summons efficiently, while his stun is always a reliable way to halt a charge and turn the fight around.
