How Lycan and Ogre Magi perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan and Ogre Magi win 49.55% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,575 matches.
Giving Bloodlust to a Lycan in Shapeshift looks good, but the two heroes end up wanting to do the same job. Both Ogre Magi and Lycan are designed to run forward and force fights early, which can leave the pair with few options if that initial aggression fails to secure an advantage. Ogre's stun and slow can struggle to save an overextended Lycan from getting kited or disabled after a push. Without a strong lead, their simple, aggressive game plan can fall apart, as neither hero offers the tools the other needs to play from behind or control a chaotic teamfight.
