What if we had a champ like Lycan in DotA

I don't know much about DotA but if we had a champ that constantly had to micro manage wolfs (or whatever) would be kinda cool.

Or we could just apply pet micro management to Yorick

Regardless I feel that a champ that focuses on microing pets constantly would be neat

Note: I do realize that Malzahar already does this but I mean more of a top or jungle champ

AD Malz has his pets do more damage than he does, and is effective is top lane (where he can bully melee champs) and jungle (where his voidlings clear the camps for him).

Except you have almost 0 control over them, meanwhile lycan has full control over his wolves as if they were champions.

That's not true at all. The voidlings target whoever you target with certain abilities. If Malz ults someone, they gain the highest priority. Then the priority goes to anyone inflicted with Malz's E. Then anything that Malz is currently auto attacking. Then finally just anything that's hostile.

Proper use of your E in lane is key to telling your voidlings when to go ham, or just farm. And there's not really a big issue of control in the jungle, since 99% of the time it's "attack and kill everything at that camp" anyway.

It's not the level of control that Lycan has, but Riot has said multiple times that they won't make a champion that summons things you can directly control since the client struggles with that. The closest you can get is Azir; and Riot has expressed interest is reworking how he functions.
