Why this works
Trapping enemies in Arena of Blood for Lycan's summons seems like an obvious setup, but in practice, these heroes want to play entirely different games. Mars excels at forcing and controlling a big five-on-five teamfight in a fixed location. He wants the whole enemy team to show up and brawl inside his ultimate. Lycan, however, is built to avoid those exact situations. He uses his own ultimate and wolves to apply pressure across the map, taking towers and out-maneuvering opponents rather than committing to a static fight. This clash in objectives means one hero is always being pulled away from what they do best, leading to awkward engagements and a disjointed strategy.
