How Lycan and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan and Techies win 51.10% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,826 matches.
Running Lycan and Techies on the same team often means playing two separate games on the map. Lycan wants to hit a key timing, use Shapeshift, and force objectives with his wolves, running at the enemy team. Techies prefers to establish control over an area, setting up mines and waiting for enemies to make a mistake. While Techies can create a safe zone for Lycan to fall back to or defend a tower while Lycan pushes another, they have very little offensive chemistry. Lycan’s high-speed assault doesn't get any direct help from Techies' stationary traps, and Techies can’t easily move his minefields to support Lycan’s hunt. They provide map pressure in different ways that don't always combine into a cohesive plan.
