Why this works
You might think Dark Seer is only about setting up big teamfights, but his real power with Lycan comes from pure map pressure. An Ion Shell on a hasted Lycan during Shapeshift is devastating. He runs at buildings and heroes, and everything around him and his wolves takes constant damage. This accelerates his farm and makes his tower pushes incredibly dangerous from early on. If the enemy team rotates to stop him, a timely Surge from Dark Seer ensures Lycan gets away clean to apply pressure elsewhere. This forces the opponent to split up and react, creating openings for your team to take objectives across the map.
