Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Bloodseeker vs Lich matchup: Lich beats Bloodseeker in 51.87% of 561 ranked matches.
Thinking you can simply run at Lich for an easy kill is a common trap. While Bloodseeker excels at chasing, Lich’s Frost Shield makes the target surprisingly durable and slows down the attacker, thwarting a quick burst. A well-timed Sinister Gaze can also halt a charge completely, holding Bloodseeker in place long enough for allies to collapse. The fight often comes down to cooldowns. If Bloodseeker catches Lich without his defensive spells, a Blood Rite silence is usually enough to secure the kill. But if Lich has his abilities ready, he can effectively kite and peel, making it very difficult for Bloodseeker to stick to any target.
