How Lycan and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan and Wraith King win 57.46% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 134 matches.
Putting two right-clickers together can feel awkward, but this pairing is more about conflicting timings than competing for farm. Lycan wants to use Shapeshift on a strict cooldown to force objectives and end the game early. Meanwhile, Wraith King is often content to farm the jungle with his skeletons, hitting his own item timings on a slower, more inevitable curve. This can lead to moments where one hero is ready to fight and the other isn't. When they do manage to sync up, however, the combination of a fast-moving wolf pack and a durable king with a second life can be hard to stop. It all depends on whether they can align their aggression.
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.
