How Arc Warden and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Lycan win 49.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 885 matches.
Facing down a Lycan push backed by an Arc Warden clone feels overwhelming. The sheer amount of summoned units and hero damage hitting a tower at once can force reactions from anywhere on the map. However, this strategy relies on both heroes having a good start, and they can compete for the same farming space to get there. In teamfights, their plans often diverge. Lycan wants to run down a specific target with Shapeshift, while Arc Warden prefers to create a fortified zone with Magnetic Field. This disconnect means they frequently operate as two separate threats rather than a single coordinated force, leading to inconsistent results game to game.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
