How Luna and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Luna and Lycan win 50.89% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,022 matches.
Deciding to run Luna and Lycan together is a bet on overwhelming physical damage and pushing power. In theory, Lycan creates space and a frontline with his summons while Luna provides sustained ranged damage. Lycan gets a nice boost from Lunar Blessing, and Luna benefits from his Howl. The main issue is that both heroes are farm-intensive carries who need to occupy the safest, most lucrative parts of the map to get their core items. This can lead to them competing for resources, which slows down the overall game plan and prevents the team from hitting a single, powerful timing. They don't actively work against each other, but they don't always line up perfectly either.
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.
