How Lycan and Zeus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lycan and Zeus win 53.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 316 matches.
Picking these two together often forces a choice between two conflicting game plans. Lycan wants to hit an early power spike, use Shapeshift, and aggressively take objectives with his summons. He plays a fast, physical, tower-focused game. Zeus, on the other hand, is happy to see the game go long. He scales with levels, pokes from a safe distance, and contributes huge magical damage in drawn-out teamfights. When Lycan sprints at the enemy backline, Zeus is left far behind and vulnerable. Their core timings and preferred fight structures are so different that they rarely feel like they are on the same page.
