How Bounty Hunter and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Lycan win 52.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,033 matches.
Playing for early map control with this pair can feel a little disjointed. Lycan wants to group up with his team and summons, using Shapeshift to force objectives and run down a whole lane. He thrives on that committed, five-man deathball strategy. Bounty Hunter is at his best roaming solo or with one partner, using Shadow Walk to find isolated targets and secure Track gold. These two game plans can pull a team in different directions. When Lycan wants to push, he needs every hero present to succeed. If Bounty Hunter is off trying to find a pickoff, the main push is weaker, and if everyone is grouped for Lycan, Bounty Hunter isn't using his kit to its full potential.
