Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lycan wins the Lycan vs Spectre matchup: Lycan beats Spectre in 50.21% of 5,993 ranked matches.
Pushing down lanes to end the game early can be difficult for Lycan here. His entire plan revolves around grouping with his summons to take objectives before the enemy carry comes online. The problem is Spectre's Haunt, which lets her join a tower defense from anywhere on the map, turning a simple siege into a full-blown teamfight. This constant threat of a global response makes it hard for Lycan to safely apply pressure and split-push. He's forced into riskier engagements, which buys time for Spectre to find the farm she needs. While Lycan can certainly still overwhelm her team with enough early momentum, her ability to show up to any fight slows his tempo down considerably.
