Why this works
Trying to coordinate a push during Shapeshift highlights the friction here. Lycan wants his allies to group up and commit to a fast, overwhelming siege with sustained physical damage. Puck contributes initial magic burst and control, but brings very little to the actual objective-taking that Lycan's ultimate enables. While a Dream Coil can set up a fight, Lycan's ideal push often involves forcing the enemy away from the objective entirely, not trapping them for a brawl. The core strategies don't overlap well. Puck wants to skirmish and find pick-offs, while Lycan wants to run down a lane as a unit, leaving them playing two different games on the same map.
