Why this works
Setting up a big Ravage for the cleanup seems like the obvious plan, but these two heroes often operate on different clocks. Lycan wants to hit his Shapeshift timing and immediately start sprinting at targets to force early objectives. This happens well before Tidehunter usually gets his key items to reliably initiate for the whole team. By the time Tide is ready for that big teamfight, Lycan's window of dominance might be closing.
