Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Beastmaster vs Lich matchup: Lich beats Beastmaster in 59.37% of 539 ranked matches.
Picking Beastmaster into a known Lich is a risky choice that often forces a complete change in playstyle. The core of Beastmaster’s game, pushing with his summons, becomes a huge liability. A single Frost Shield on a tower or ally completely neutralizes the damage from his boars, stopping any pressure in its tracks. During fights, that same army provides ideal bounce targets for Chain Frost. This turns Beastmaster’s primary strength into a weakness that Lich can easily exploit, often resulting in a dead hero and a lost teamfight. It feels like every attempt to play your game is easily countered and turned against you.
