Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Chaos Knight vs Lich matchup: Lich beats Chaos Knight in 52.66% of 771 ranked matches.
Taking control of the map feels nearly impossible for Chaos Knight here, as his entire game plan is often dismantled by Lich. Any attempt to use Phantasm to burst a target can be neutralized by a well-placed Frost Shield, which protects the victim and cripples the illusions' attack speed. This clustering around a single target also creates the perfect setup for a devastating Chain Frost. The spell will bounce between Chaos Knight and his copies, often shredding the illusions and dealing massive damage back to the real hero. This leaves him unable to secure kills or confidently fight, severely slowing his ability to snowball.
