Why this works

Forcing objectives is the shared goal here. Lycan's Shapeshift creates a window to run at a tower, and if Shadow Shaman has Mass Serpent Ward ready, that objective is likely gone. This potential to rapidly take map control can open up the game. The same logic applies to ganks, where Shaman’s disables like Hex or Shackles can hold a target down for Lycan and his summons to tear apart. The plan is straightforward but depends heavily on their big cooldowns lining up. If one hero commits their ultimate without the other being ready to follow up, the attempt can fizzle out and leave the team at a disadvantage.
