Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Tusk wins the Lycan vs Tusk matchup: Tusk beats Lycan in 50.13% of 3,956 ranked matches.
Picking Tusk into a Lycan often comes down to a test of reaction time. On paper, Tusk has the right tools for the job. Ice Shards can trap a charging Lycan or his summons, creating space for his team to fight back. Snowball is also a solid save to pull an ally out of trouble when Lycan commits with his pack. The problem is that during Shapeshift, Lycan is so incredibly fast that he can often run around the shards or close the distance before Tusk can even get his spells off. The fight is frequently decided by which hero gets the jump, making the engagement feel very unpredictable for both sides.
