Why this works
Assuming these two physical cores can run at enemies together often leads to awkward fights. Lycan's entire game plan with Shapeshift is to be mobile, chasing a specific hero across the map and then pushing objectives. He wants to keep moving forward. Monkey King is the opposite; he wants to plant Wukong's Command and force the enemy team to fight inside that static area. Lycan will often end up dragging the fight away from the ring, leaving Monkey King's ultimate hitting air. They fundamentally disagree on how a teamfight should play out, making it difficult to execute a clean plan with both heroes.
