Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Lich vs Muerta matchup: Lich beats Muerta in 57.69% of 520 ranked matches.
Thinking you can safely right-click people down during Pierce the Veil is where things go wrong for Muerta. Lich has multiple ways to completely neutralize her ultimate. The most direct counter is Sinister Gaze, which holds her in place and drains her mana, wasting the entire duration of her ult while she's supposed to be invulnerable and dealing damage. If Lich doesn't use Gaze on her directly, he can cast Frost Shield on whoever Muerta is trying to kill. This slows her attack speed to a crawl, allowing her target to walk away. Combined with the constant slows from Frost Blast and Chain Frost, Lich ensures Muerta is never able to effectively kite or chase, even at her strongest.
