Hello guys! This build is strictly for backdooring and is not recommended when trying to play WITH your team. The entire point of this is to backdoor while your enemy is distracted in a team fight. This sounds brutal but sometimes there are just those teams you can't play with you know? This is a way to have a quick match you can win alone once you get used to the play style.
Seeing as lycan is a bit of a weak early game jungler, I like to start in lane until I know I can handle the jungle. You will be very weak early game so what you are going for is early game farm. Play as deffensively as possible while still trying to get levels and farm. You want to get lifesteal as soon as possible due to the fact it will help you sustain through your jungle. You need 900 gold to get life steal and depending on your health and mana you can either go back or begin to jungle!
We have made it to the jungle! Now is where we begin to farm as much as possible. We want to monitor the lanes from time to time because the enemy may come after you. You will ONLY be killing an enemy if they are in your jungle with low health. If they aren't, try and back off and farm somewhere else. You don't want to get yourself caught up in anything. You will want to rush a Vlad offering so your wolves have some sustain along with the mana it gives. This item is the CORE ITEM that he NEEDS by all means. This will help your mana as well as giving your minions (wolves and what not) bonus damage. This helps you push like crazy. You want to keep farming until you have at least tier 1 boots, Vlad offering, and necronomicon level 1. At this time I like to begin finding lanes with no enemies in it and pushing out before they realize what happened. On to backdooring!
We have made it to the highlight of the game! You will want to work on power treads and rush your necronomicon. You will find yourself solo pushing lanes so fast it won't be a problem. Early in your pushing ,when teamfights are still non-existent, you need to work on the outer towers and pushing even to the secondary tower if possible.
Your Q and Necronomicon is for making an army right at the tower.
Your W is for an extra push on the tower.
Your R is STRICTLY for escapes.
Later in your game, when your necronomicon is level 3, you will notice on your red melee minion that it has true sight! This is good for continuing to see if there are any invisible ganks on the way! You MUST stay out of sight and still try to get more gold while you are out of lane until a teamfight is near.. The easy way is jungling even after you have gotten a lot of good items. You can always use more gold!
Your next item that will REALLY help you in pushing is Assault. This will help you demolish through towers and minion waves with your increased atk speed and damage. Now you are a force to be reckoned with and I usually don't get to build anything after this because I am pushing so hard. You should be able to take down most teams because you summon a team of your own! Don't doubt their damage because they destroy through tons of enemies if you can control them right.
At this point you should have taken down at least one side completely to barracks and even those should be down. Also, if you are feeling REALLY ballsy and there are no enemies nearby, try soloing a tower with your minions taking the damage. You will be amazed as you destroy the tower EVEN if it is regenerating health!!
My advice is try to take out one side and then (even if you have to R and suicide) try to take out both the Ancient towers. This will ensure one more backdoor to end the game.
If you are still having problems with enemies your tanking ability and intense damage will destroy through anything that stands in your way!
If it doesn't work the first time, you will just need a bit more practice. It took me a bit to actually work out this playstyle but once you are able to use it correctly you can REALLY begin to dominate even if your team isn't how you like it.
Good luck out there everyone!
Side note: I don't have anything against Dota 2 players but I am saying some are just not fun to play with. Why not try to lighten the game up with a new tactic!~
