How Keeper of the Light and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Keeper of the Light and Lycan win 51.51% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,524 matches.
You'd think Keeper of the Light would be a perfect battery for Lycan, spamming Chakra Magic to fuel his wolf summons and push towers. While that mana sustain is certainly helpful for early pressure, their overall plans often don't align. Lycan wants to dive deep into the backline with Shapeshift, fighting far from his team. Keeper of the Light is a squishy backline hero who needs his team around him for protection and to channel Illuminate effectively. They can coordinate to take an objective, but in scattered mid-game fights, one hero is frequently out of position to help the other, which keeps this duo from feeling consistently powerful.
