How Juggernaut and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Juggernaut and Lycan win 48.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,601 matches.
The idea of using Lycan's pressure to set up kills for Juggernaut seems plausible. In practice, these two cores often operate on different clocks. Lycan wants to force the issue early, using Shapeshift and his summons to run at buildings and supports the moment he gets his first items. Juggernaut, however, usually prefers to spend more time farming for his own items before he feels comfortable committing to a fight, looking for a clean Omnislash. This can lead to awkward situations where one hero is ready to go and the other isn't, causing them to split the map and weaken their collective pressure. While Howl is helpful, their fundamental game plans don't always line up.
