Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Grimstroke vs Lich matchup: Lich beats Grimstroke in 52.86% of 1,260 ranked matches.
Fighting into a Lich often feels like a constant struggle against slows and armor, but Grimstroke has tools to manage it. Both heroes trade similar long-range harass in lane, making it hard for either side to get a big advantage. Later on, the matchup is a race to see whose ultimate can define a teamfight first. A multi-hero Soulbind from Grimstroke can completely shatter the enemy's positioning, but a bouncing Chain Frost from Lich can be equally devastating. There aren't many recent games between them, so it's hard to say for sure who has the edge.
