Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Slardar wins the Lycan vs Slardar matchup: Slardar beats Lycan in 50.18% of 4,902 ranked matches.
Trying to run at someone with Shapeshift often ends poorly against a Slardar. A well-timed Slithereen Crush stops Lycan and his entire wolf pack, completely halting his charge and letting the target escape. From there, the fight gets even worse for him. Corrosive Haze on Lycan makes him the new priority target, and he melts under physical damage without his armor. He can't stand and fight, and his wolves alone aren't enough to win the engagement once he's forced to back off or dies. Slardar consistently has the tools to dismantle Lycan's aggression, both by stopping his momentum and by making the hero himself too fragile to fight.
