How does Lycan have an advantage over Slardar? Minus armor and bash would rock Lycan since he only has his +Attack growl and wolf mode. Which in that case I still think Wolf form would still be stunned alot of the time and the lack of armor would rock him. Wolf form could help Lycan run but outside of wolf form Slard can catch up easy and stun away.
I meant advantage as in a favorites advantage, read a lil more carefully.
Don't underestimate the Lycan though. His wolves are just as capable of stunning, and every good Lycan gets a Basher. Slardar is great at near permastuns, but so is the Lycan. Plus, should the battle get ugly, he's a VERY fast runner. Late game, Lycan vs Slardar, I've had mostly even matches, though I've had edges over the Slardars I've faced. Butterfly is a lotta fun. ^^ I won't judge the Lycan vs Slardar battles I've had as Slardar though, cuz I've only fought pitiful Lycans who can never even seem to make a MoM or a Basher and just end up being feeders. It's not like the Lycan is that hard to use either.. He's one of the few heroes in DotA that can excel even with mediocre items.
Oh, as a side note on Lycan vs Slardar, I've fought some pretty good Slardars too, that's why I feel free to judge from the Lycan side.
