In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Lycan win 51.11% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 45 matches.
Small sample: this pairing has only 45 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.
Why this works
Applying Doom to a key defensive hero clears the way for Lycan to take over the map. Once a target is silenced and taking damage, Lycan can commit Shapeshift without fear of a save spell ruining his aggression. This allows the pair to secure early pick-offs that translate directly into taking towers. Both heroes want to group up and force objectives with their ultimates, creating a clear and direct game plan. The strategy can feel one-dimensional, however, and relies heavily on executing this initial push. If the enemy team survives the first major assault, both Doom and Lycan can have trouble catching up from behind.
