        You are fucking Divine V, figure it out yourself. If only there was a website with stats for each hero, what they good/bad against, with match id's for replays of high mmr games etc. How cool would that be?

          Ive recently lost to immortal lycan smurf. We had a lot of lockdown but he was tping to his invi wolves and was able to siege through backdoor while we were trying to breach hg.

          It took like 6-8 seconds everytime to get tower or raxx through backdoor protection.

          Answering your question IMO when enemies lack disables or wave clear or have a lot of dmg over time and slows.

            I mean , there is a thing called efficiency . Why figure out shit myself which would take me on average a week . While here i can ask some spammers and my friends and it would take me a few games to understand it ??????? And im not asking for counters or combos . Im just generally asking the strat/type lol

            And sadly walmart is not in my country

                Howl is fearsome ability, would be terrific if you have Brood/ Invoker, Warlock and Enigma/Beastmaster in your teams.

                idk but if it affects illusions, a Naga Siren or Phantom Lancer would complete the benefit.

                  To be a bit more helpful: the games where I have seen Lycan shine were does where the enemy had no AoE to deal with someone, no good waveclear and cores that needed time. Lycan just overran them Helm of Dominater and NecroIII. We were highground at minute 16 or so. Best heroes to go with lycan are push or sustain heroes and team should also itemise for playing with Lycan. A quick Vlads + Mekansm from your team together with HoD + Necro on Lycan is hard to stop. I like Jakiro spamming his low cooldown spells from behind, or Kotl or Dazzle.

                  Shove in the lanes take 1set of racks, retreat in time and while enemy is bothered with dealing with hte lanes you take rosh, wait for ultis to refresh and get mana and you just go back in with aegis to get megas or close the game out.

                    Lycan is nice hero which heals more than Treant protector

                    U can just Howl and get global full team living armor. So I just ask why not pick it in every game until they nerf it

                      @Antain

                      You can pick Lycan into:

                      - Anything without AoE lockdown (WK for instance is ez but Sven/Slardar/ES*2 etc is a big no)
                      - Anything without illusions (Naga is literally hell to play against since she's just going to ult & wait for TP backup)
                      - Anything you can punish for farming (AM/Spectre etc)

                      The hero is exceptional vs WR because of the necro3 purge/shapeshift speed. Don't pick it against Willow, not because of the fade but the Bramble Maze & Terrorize.
                      Avoid Bloodseeker at all costs. You get ruptured = you die, if he's with a Willow you're doubly dead because of Terrorize.

                      The main tip playing him would be to not touch talents until lvl 15 unless you're against a team where you actually get focused/take physical damage... in that case get the 5 armor as early as possible.

                      Early game once you have HotD you're going to want to push/farm as much as possible (whatever gets you the most gold) until you have Necro3 -- then you want to just beeline towards their throne from whichever lane is easiest to push (usually mid at 15m).

                      Late game you want to try to push during sieges and either try to get through BD (means all CD's available) or TP and fight just diving on backlines as much as you can depending on what your items allow.

                          Thanks guys appreciate it

                          Specially @kajibass ,i literally just watched some lycan replays into axe and naga of miracle i believe . He still won xD .But now i understand when that hero is actually good .
                          By the way . If i fuck up with lycan ,say I go to late game 40 mins . Whats the build then . Since i have never really seen a pro game of lycan after 30 min . I know bout cuirass travels but still .Octarine or refresher ? Cuz this hero is all about cooldowns

                                      pretty draft oriented tbh, ask your team beforehand what you are going lycan so they can pick something like shaman/beastmaster/dp or someshit.
                                      Doesnt matter what enemy picks
