Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Warlock wins the Lycan vs Warlock matchup: Warlock beats Lycan in 51.90% of 1,314 ranked matches.
Thinking Warlock's spells will shut down Lycan is a common trap. Lycan's game is less about five-on-five brawls and more about hitting buildings solo. He often splits the map with his summons, forcing Warlock to react. If Lycan uses Shapeshift to dive a tower, he's often too fast for Upheaval to matter, and he can sometimes outrun the Golem from Chaotic Offering. Fatal Bonds also gets diluted when it bounces between wolves instead of heroes. That said, if Warlock does manage to catch Lycan's team pushing together, his spells are still devastating. The outcome really depends on whether Lycan can successfully avoid Warlock's ideal teamfight, which neither hero can consistently guarantee.
