In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan and Medusa win 45.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 61 matches.

Small sample: this pairing has only 61 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.

Why this works

Applying Lycan's Howl to every arrow from Medusa's Split Shot is a core part of this pairing. The main idea is to use Lycan's early aggression to create space. While he threatens towers with his summons and forces enemy rotations, Medusa gets the safe farm she needs to secure her core items. Once she's ready, they can group up. Lycan provides a massive frontline and objective damage, taking down buildings quickly under the cover of Medusa's sustained teamfight damage. Stone Gaze can also lock down opponents, setting them up for Lycan and his army to run them over.
