How Underlord and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Lycan win 49.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 403 matches.
Deciding to run this duo means committing to a specific style of play. The best-case scenario is using Fiend's Gate to drop a full-strength Lycan and his summons on an unsuspecting tower for a fast objective. The problem is that outside of this one play, their goals can diverge. Underlord wants to grind down the enemy team in long fights using Pit of Malice and Atrophy Aura. Lycan wants to be a fast-moving threat, taking buildings during Shapeshift and avoiding those drawn-out brawls. This often leads to a split identity for the team, making it hard to execute a single coherent plan and keeping their success together fairly neutral.
