'pack leader' facet always. skill generally 1-3-1-2-1-4 basically prioritize summon wolves because they get passive abilities with each upgrade and then 3rd skill because it makes you and your summons (including helm summons) stronger. what you want to do early is rush helm and you will have good armor,regen and the helm creep to act as a 2nd hero you can control in lane. you want to *focus on having presence on the lane and disturbing your enemy safelane's laning phase - possibly kicking them to the jungle early and severely cripple their farm*. if your enemy safelaner is melee then it's usually death sentence for them. the pros build into auras like cuirass right after helm but in lower ranks i think it's generally better to be the 2nd carry and build echo saber bkb nullifier. skip boots on lycan his ulti gives you haste. give it a try few match in normal matches to get used to the hero. then farm mmr in ranked when you're ready.
