Personal build: I get RoB, 2 clarity and go for easy1. Kill it before .53 and kill easy2 right after that. Finishing easy2 you should have lost your second set of wolves. After that run into Medium1 while popping a clarity. After Medium1 is down, get ring and go easy3. Once that pack is dead you should be level 3 near 4. From here on farm your way to vlads, get brown boots straight after. Build into BKB if they have alot of stuns/snares or SB if they dont. Finish Treads somewhere in between and don't forget about the Deso for extreme pushing. Winning games in 30 minutes or less. | ||

Tried it your way, you get vlads/medallion/rosh way slower. Brown boots first and mana regen items over clarities is just better. Try it vs bots a few times and you'll see. Building a shadow blade on Lycan makes you literally the worst player ever. Desol, same. Your Lycan is wasting your time and that of everyone on your team, you're gonna end up with desol/bkb/treads/vlads/aegis/shadow blade and finding that actually you can't kill shit because you forgot to go abyssal/ac/heart/necro. Just play bounty hunter if you want to gank people with desol from invis. It's not like Lycan needs a shadow blade to escape from situations he doesn't like. Shadow blading around the jungle ganking heroes with 4second bkb and crit is not a good use of Lycan, he doesn't need those kills, he needs the gold for the big name items and he needs 6 of them. | ||

Starting with ring of protection, tango, hatchet, clarity then go for medium camp first, then go to next medium camp while getting basi and more tangos from courier. Just keep killing medium camps while getting claries and food until you can go for hard camps. Never go for small camps unless you have to. Level wolves, howl, wolves, passive, max wolves and howl then passive last. Howl is really low mana cost anyway, and does more early game. Always get ulti level 6 to help out team mates, maxed howl and ulti with vlads is not so bad, I generally get a kill with it. I'm not that good by any means but I've had a lot of success with it in ranked. After I got it down after the first two losses I basically won all my games except 1 after that.

my question: what is your worst nightmare? how do you absolutely crush lycan? is it as simple as warding/blocking early? what's the the most effective counterpick? | ||

After then you can go pure farming without any downtime with boots and all gold spent on necessary items. There is no way another method can be faster. | ||

Second Sobi before Vlad's was actually extremely common when Lycan was OP in 6.72-6.74. You don't really feel the difference when jungling. It becomes apparent why you get it when you finish Vlad+Medal and have 100+ more mana at that point from the regen you got holding the casual Sobi mask for so long, meaning you don't have to base or Clarity before doing Rosh. | ||

Also medallion is just a fantastic item to have on Lycan anyway for the early/midgame. Big damage application bonus and the extra mana regen really helps too. | ||
