Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lich wins the Nature's Prophet vs Lich matchup: Lich beats Nature's Prophet in 58.12% of 42,749 ranked matches.
Thinking you can split push Lich to death is a trap. Nature's Prophet relies on his Treants for pushing and fighting, but each one is another body for Chain Frost to bounce between. His own army becomes a weapon that can get his whole team killed. Even when Prophet tries to push towers, a single Frost Shield makes his summons almost useless, stopping the entire wave. Lich doesn't have to chase him around the map; he directly punishes what Prophet wants to do.
The result is that Nature's Prophet can't build momentum. His pushes are easily stalled and his teamfight contribution is a huge risk. A good Lich will hold his ultimate until Prophet commits, turning an aggressive play into a team wipe. This forces the Nature's Prophet player to avoid his own team and summons, trying to rat without his usual backup. It's a slow and awkward way to play that gives Lich's team plenty of time to react and shut him down.
