Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Dragon Knight vs Lich matchup: Lich beats Dragon Knight in 55.46% of 577 ranked matches.
Trying to run at a backliner with Dragon Tail is a doomed play against Lich. He'll simply use Sinister Gaze to stop Dragon Knight cold, dragging him into a terrible position to be focused down. This control theme continues all game. During teamfights, Lich can cast Frost Shield on whoever Dragon Knight is trying to attack, massively slowing his damage output and making it impossible to stick to a target. Later on, DK’s slow movement and desire to be in the middle of the fight make him a perfect bounce target for Chain Frost. Lich effectively neutralizes Dragon Knight's game plan of being a durable, single-target initiator at every stage.
