How Enigma and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Lycan win 44.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 671 matches.
Hitting objectives early with Lycan can leave Enigma a step behind. Lycan wants to activate Shapeshift and force fights the moment he gets his core items, creating a fast-paced, map-wide game. This tempo spike often happens before Enigma has finished farming a Blink Dagger to properly set up Black Hole. This can leave the team with conflicting goals. While Howl does buff Eidolons for pushing, Enigma often wants a big, grouped teamfight, whereas Lycan excels at creating chaotic, mobile skirmishes. The result is often a disconnect where one hero is ready to execute their plan but the other is not yet in position to contribute effectively.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
