Why this works
Defending against a wave of summons from both Beastmaster and Lycan is the whole story of the game, and that's the problem. Both heroes are trying to execute the exact same strategy: amass an army and run at buildings. This makes your team's plan predictable and easy to counter with strong area-of-effect spells. They also end up competing for the same farm on the map, meaning one or both will likely be weaker than they need to be. While a Primal Roar can set up a pickoff, the overall approach is too narrow and brittle if the first few pushes fail.
