Why this works

Casting Soulbind on a target that Lycan is chasing down in Shapeshift can be effective. His extreme movement speed lets him quickly reposition to hit both leashed heroes, and his wolves can help finish off the secondary target. This interaction, however, is a small piece of a larger picture. Grimstroke generally wants to set up for big teamfights where his spells can control multiple enemies for his team. Lycan, on the other hand, is often more focused on taking objectives, pressuring towers, and avoiding those kinds of full-on brawls. Because their overall game plans don't always align, the duo doesn't consistently create a special advantage.

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.
