Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan wins the Lycan vs Templar Assassin matchup: Lycan beats Templar Assassin in 59.02% of 122 ranked matches.
Picking Templar Assassin into a potential Lycan is a real risk, and the matchup often feels one-sided from the start. Templar Assassin’s entire survivability plan relies on Refraction, but all of Lycan's summoned units chew through those charges almost instantly. Once her shield is gone, she’s fragile and has no way to get away from him. Lycan isn't scared of a Meld strike and can easily stick to her with Shapeshift, running her down anywhere on the map. He forces fights and pressures objectives so aggressively that TA rarely gets the space or time she needs to farm the items required to have an impact.
