lycan 's jungle ( with a kotl )

Chapter Title

hello everybody!
I create this build to share an experience i had in a game.
I was able to maximise lycan's farming potential in the jungle. The idea is quite simple.
First, pick lycan, then ask for a kotl ( keeper of the light )and a hero with a burst potential ( lina/ lion/ etc..) to be picked.
To be efficient you'll need both of these heroes on the bot lane.
As a good lycan you'll go jungling.
So here is the thing, the kotl can give you a huge amount of mana every 8 seconds, so use your first spell ( wolves ) and begin to jungle. When you need mana to use it again just ask the kotl to give you some. With this little synergy you'll be able to farm again and again without coming back to your spawn. You must think: " but how wil you do if you have low health ? ", i just respond buy 3 tangos at the beginning of the game, then with the courier ust bring some healing salves and later your lifesteal.
Why did i asked for a burst hero to be picked ? Here again it is quite simple, the kotl and the other hero will get the ennemy heroes really low, you'll just have to pick them up whenever they are low !
As this you'll be able to get yor vladimir's offering AND your Black king Bar ( BkB ) in about 15 minutes !


Thanks for reading this, remember this is NOT the best way to play lycan, it is just something i want to share with other players.

I think everyone knows how to pubstomp with Lycanthrope jungling...

The Keeper of the light idea is nice too.

Not a bad idea, might test sometime and see how much Chakra Magic support influences your GPM/XPM.

I don't understand why you had to create a guide to tell us this. Just post on the forums or something.

Anyway, being able to spam wolves summoning would be pretty convenient. This way, you will always be at full health, in case of ganks.

The only problem I see with this is that some keepers might not put points to it. I'm not saying this is common, just possible.

i thank all of you for these comments.
To respond to dePhongster, i created a guide because i'm new and i didn't know there was a forum to post things like this.
And yeah the keeper of the light might not care about you, well in this case yell at him and he'll do it :p just joking, if he doesn't to help get a basilius ASAP.

It's really funny how people don't know anything about dota or dota's mechanics here. Lycan lane doesn't work well. Lycan jugnle does.

And you offensive kids why did he make a guide... Why the **** not? He just shares the idea with Kotl...

And my earlier comment got deleted. Nice freedom of speech.

This is a good idea, but it's not worth making a guide to tell us.

Easier idea.. both kotl and lycan jungle..
KOTL stacks the strong camp, and helps lycan jungle for level.

3-4 stacks - and a couple of charges will take that ***** down, and leavel the stronger creeps with 100hp or so, and let lycan take them.. there's loads of jungling 'tools' the problem with this is team synergy - while kotl charges, lycan attacks - people run and move, the charge will probably miss rofl..

dark seer smoke jungle stack is the bst though.

Smoke of Deceit assisted jungling has been patched out.

Lycan lane doesn't work well? It's like saying Syllabear jungle > lane.
