After playing lycan a lot more recently (7/3) i think one thing that is extremely important late game is to scout with your wolves, it's so usefull to be able to keep vision on an important target at all time.

After playing a couple games of this, this strat is definitely more viable when there's a passive jungler like doom or furion on their team. If they run a dual lane in the offlane, one unfortunate rotation when you're on your second camp can really fuck you

Smart play and wards will let you do your job even in a 2-1-2 situation. I think agressive trilanes are the ultimate counter to Lycan, thats why i never would bother drafting him in CM.

Thoughts on the patch?

Things that affect Lycan:

+ Show Spoiler +
Lycan
Wolves Fade Time decreased from 3 to 1.7
Level 3 Lycan Wolves now have Invisibility
Level 4 Lycan Wolves now have a passive ability that gives them 15 HP regen

Roshan no longer stops upgrading his hp/damage/armor at 45 minutes
Roshan upgrade rate increased by 20%
Roshan bounty rescaled from 105-600 to 150-400

Necronomicon
Necronomicon units bounty increased from 100/125/150 to 100/150/200
Necronomicon units armor reduced from 6/8/10 to 4
Necronomicon cooldown increased from 80 to 95

Smoke of Deceit
Duration decreased from 40 to 35


Very happy with the 15 HP regen. It makes a lvl 7 rosh with Microsoft's build a lot easier. It wasn't very hard to begin with but sometimes unlucky bashes could kill your wolves quickly, now it seems hilariously easy to take him down.

Does the bounty rescaling mean that an early rosh will now give more money or do I read that wrong?

Upgrade rate shouldn't matter much, smoke nerf is not a problem either.

Necro nerf though :'(
Cooldown increase makes me sad.

Nothing wrong with going basher+AC in place of necro.

Anything you do different when you go that build?

I mean do you attempt to splitpush and have all towers down by +- 25 min or do you try to force teamfights when you're a bit more farmed than the enemy?

I've always gone necro 3 so far, I think I will continue to do so after the patch, see how it goes.

I cant seem to have enough for sages mask. I get both easy camps, then the medium camp. get boots and die, seem to about 2:40ish, then i run out and get the hard and medium camps. and I always seem to end up with around 310, 315 without mana to resummon or gold for the mask..not sure why? also what do I do after? do I suicide again to get the mask or run back?

Are you summoning wolves in fountain after the death for the hard camp? You should be getting them low at the hard, losing them at the medium and resummoning your first there. Then sage's get courier + sages while you do hard again. Your suicide/wait for courier decisions depend upon your hp, whether the courier is flying and in use. If you're being cautious in the jungle you might wish to just get low and suicide again rather than risk wandering around low although if you're doing that I favour a ring of regen before sage's because once you're 5 or so the wolves won't be dying to the creeps so your full mana from fountain will last you much longer.

Still splitpush, just dive harder whenever 1-2 people try and stop you because it's gonna take more than that to kill you and medallion + a bash means they're dead.

ok thanks, seem to be getting it to work now. Finished rosh at 12:28 and level 12. Although Im finding in actual games the time is later because the courier is being used and/or people harass you in the jungle.

Holy god.... I cant believe how well that worked, just had a game where everyone left me alone. finished the game 12-3, got 3 roshans, level 24, next highest was level 18. By the end could stand and man fight whole team with bkb, AC, Abysall, treads, and Rapier.

Was able to smash pudge 6 times with medallion, never really realized how good that item is.

edit. Had my first loss, team fed alot, but also Ursa took Rosh faster than me, threw me off. I was still almost able to take the game back but 2 members of my team went afk

I just had a game where the enemy warded small camp AND one of the medium camps. What the fuck are you supposed to do then? Give up and lane? lol

Edit: with 15 hp/sec on the wolves, roshan is really easy to kill at level 7 with just vlads. Waiting until you have medallion might be overkill. Thoughts?

Medallion helps you killing roshan faster, whereas the regen just helps you sustain the damage but doesn't make it faster, do you might get discovered because you took too long :o

It doesn't take six minutes to farm a Medallion.

Called a magic bush ward when they block two camps with one ward.
One of the easier locations to deward imo. Ask a support to help you with a sentry ward. Make sure they don't block another camp with it though. In the meantime, you can either work on the other camps or lane I guess.
