How Huskar and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Huskar and Lycan win 46.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 719 matches.
Running at the enemy to end the game early seems like the obvious plan, but it often falls apart. While both Huskar and Lycan want to apply pressure, they have different primary targets. Lycan excels at melting towers with his summons, often on the opposite side of the map from the action. Huskar, however, needs his team grouped with him to follow up on his dives and win teamfights. This creates a strategic conflict: either Lycan abandons his split-push strength to help Huskar fight, or Huskar is left fighting without his team's strongest objective-taker. Lycan's Howl gives a helpful boost, but it doesn't always bridge the gap between their competing game plans.
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.
