Why this works
Taking an early Roshan or a fast tower is where this pair can line up. Slardar’s Corrosive Haze makes any single target incredibly vulnerable to physical attacks, which is all Lycan and his summons provide. A successful gank can quickly turn into a destroyed objective. The problem is that both heroes want to do the same thing: run at the enemy. They offer very little in the way of crowd control beyond a single stun and have almost no magical damage between them. If the enemy team has ways to disengage, kite, or survive the initial physical burst, the entire strategy can fall flat, leaving their combined impact feeling situational.
