Why this works
Drafting these two together often forces a difficult choice about the game's pace. Death Prophet wants to group and win a slow, grinding siege with Exorcism, drawing out fights so her spirits have maximum impact. This plan is fundamentally at odds with Lycan, who excels at using Shapeshift for rapid-assaults on a single target or objective before the enemy can properly respond. One hero will almost always be playing against their own strengths. Either Lycan gets dragged into a static fight he isn't built for, or Death Prophet is left trying to solo-carry a brawl while her ally is pushing a lane elsewhere.
