How Lycan and Morphling perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan and Morphling win 41.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 122 matches.
Trying to force an early end to the game often leaves Morphling without the space and time he needs to come online. Lycan wants to hit his timings, pop Shapeshift, and run at buildings with his team and wolves. This plan clashes directly with Morphling’s need to farm safely for the late game. The lineup gets split between two conflicting strategies. Even if the game does go late, both heroes deal primarily physical damage, which makes it straightforward for the enemy to itemize with armor. This pairing dedicates two core slots to heroes who don't enable each other's timings and are too easily countered by the same items.
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. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
