Why this works
Seeing this duo group up for a push feels like a lot of pressure. The problem is that both heroes often want to do the same job. Brewmaster and Lycan both rely on their ultimates to set the tempo, run at targets, and secure objectives in the mid-game. This can lead to a very physical-damage-heavy draft that's easier for opponents to itemize against with armor. While Brewmaster's Primal Split offers great control, its chaotic nature can sometimes work against Lycan, who needs his wolves and himself to stay on a single focused target. They're not actively tripping over each other, but their plans don't really build on one another.
