Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan wins the Lycan vs Techies matchup: Lycan beats Techies in 51.11% of 225 ranked matches.
Taking objectives feels almost impossible against a good Techies. Lycan relies on his summoned units to farm, push, and create pressure, but those units are a constant source of gold for the enemy when they walk over Proximity Mines. This severely slows down Lycan's ability to hit his timings and snowball. Trying to force a gank or teamfight with Shapeshift is also difficult. Techies can easily stop the charge with a Stasis Trap or slow him to a crawl with Sticky Bomb, completely negating his primary method of engagement and leaving him vulnerable in the middle of the fight.
