Lycan Counters (7.41)
Who counters Lycan in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Lycan is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over ranked matches.
Lycan is a push-snowball carry whose summoned wolves and Shapeshift speed-boost let him take towers fast and run down isolated heroes. He's strong into immobile, low-clear heroes who can't stop his early push: Elder Titan (62.8%), Timbersaw (58.6%) and Treant Protector (57.2%) get out-pushed and out-paced. Lycan is countered by sustain and summon-swarm answers: Necrophos (41.1%) out-heals his damage, Naga Siren (41.8%) Songs his pack and clears wolves, and Crystal Maiden (42.3%) / Meepo (42.4%) shut down his tempo. Draft tip: Lycan is a top-tier early-push pick into slow, low-clear drafts; he's countered hard by AoE clear, sustain, and Naga/CM control.
