Players in your bracket are probably very bad at understanding lane creep dynamics, when to anticipate pushes to be ready to counterpush and understanding when to defend their own towers vs when to pressure an enemy objective. Of course, we can also assume then that a Lycan at your level is probably not performing with much finesse, they are simply abusing how easy it is to take objectives vs players with weak macro comprehension.
You'll want a hero with great wave clear who can be ready for Lycan showing up and blow up his summons.
As said above, KotL is a great choice. KotL can effectively permanently defend a location as long as he wishes, can nuke from safety for high damage and the cooldown isn't terribly long on the next Illuminate. Furthermore, Manaleak fucks with Lycan and Blinding Light is a fantastic utility option if Lycan decides to dive you. Worst case, even if he dives you with a full duration ult and if your team isn't coming, Blinding Light will give you enough time to tp out during the debuff.
You probably don't even need to tp home since your hero is so sustainable, just go to the nearest shrine to avoid Lycan's ult. Once Lycan's ult is on cooldown there is simply no way for him to ever threaten you realistically, keep track of his ult timer, keep nuking his dudes and de-push his waves. If Lycan goes 25+ minutes without getting a significant amount of tower pushing done his effectiveness starts tanking as he needs that gold lead to close out the game.
^Lycan is balanced. He just works well against uncoordinated teams and greedy lategame players.
Picked + Banned 4 times at the summit whereas void was picked+banned 35 times.
Pros would ban it or pick it more if he were unbalanced.
u can beat archon lycan with anyhero tbh
but i hate undying and techies (if u looking for supports tho)
lycan can play around any other hero(supports), kotl/ww just send the creeps to kill him, shaker dont stack!
undying or techies tho is a pain in the ass
What if the ww is hidden in treelines :P You can't hit what you can't see !
Give your carry BloodRage, or ask for BloodRage if you are a carry, yummy plenty creeps as heals :p
@sygma
well just keep ur distance from creeps and w8 for ww to show up or get aegis and waste one life for his ult
its not a big deal tbh
^Damn you are the kind of ennemies I commend post-game that actually forces me to use the IQ>9000 secret jutsu :P
Dota is like chess, mecanical skills move the piece but the mind kills the king
i always getting commends from enemies
there is a chance one of my teammates getting triggered when i told all of them rustards tho, but i doubt cause its just happened one time
To counter the hero, literally anything with aoe. To counter the push in other hand is kinda hard especially in 2k bracket where no one even bother to buy tp scroll and reset the creep wave.
But if youre looking for hero to counter him, best bet would be shaker and WW, but wyvern seems weak and out of meta nowadays.
how the fuck a lycan spammer says es is the biggest counter?
es never buys crimson guard, heroes who buying crimson are the problems.
1 day chat ban cause i said russtards when i asked nicely my team get back and they didnt when all of our ulties where cooldown!
i dont know
what valve do against 4 animals who using their mother language on chat non stop with mic on eu W? nothing but if u be good at game and enemy reports u for chat abuse(!!!!), gl next day :))
stop using TP after you died, walk out of base.
Always fun when Lycan is ratting your racks but your entire team has TP on cooldown
kowareta you disconnect 5evry 5 minutes, maybe people get annoyed because of all the pauses
nah i got reported in the game before it
the last game tho i had 500 ping, terrible network and 40 fps on top of it i was trying to say sry in all chat and i found out i banned 4 hours ago for a day xD
bristleback and kunkka shit over lycan day
or just anyone who can clear the wolves, has crimson or whatever
what? tombstone is the greatest counter to lycan (if u mean un(not)dying or i dont understand wth u talking about)

Every game I face a lycan they just push and we lose every time. Know any ways to counter him other than pick sven, gyro, etc
