How Lycan and Tinker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lycan and Tinker win 46.19% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,845 matches.
Drafting this pair often forces a team to choose between two conflicting game plans. Lycan wants to hit his timing, summon his wolves, pop Shapeshift, and run at buildings with his team to end the game early. He creates an overwhelming deathball push that needs everyone on board. Tinker, however, wants to avoid grouping. His ideal game involves farming lanes and jungle for a long time, then split-pushing and defending from the trees with Rearm. These two strategies are at complete odds. The result is usually Lycan trying to force fights or objectives while underpowered, because Tinker is on the other side of the map playing his own game.
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.
