Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Dark Seer vs Lich matchup: Lich beats Dark Seer in 53.57% of 4,480 ranked matches.
Running at Lich's team with an Ion Shell and Surge feels less effective than usual. Lich’s Frost Shield slows your advance and reduces your damage, making it tough to stick to a target. The shield also neuters the damage output from any Wall of Replica illusions you might create from their carries. On the other hand, the entire matchup can flip when it's time for a big teamfight. Dark Seer is one of the best heroes for forcing enemies to group up with Vacuum. This puts slow heroes like Lich into a tight spot where they can be disabled and burst down, potentially bypassing the value from his protective spells. The fight often hinges on whether Dark Seer lands a good setup before Lich can stall his team's initiation.
