Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Phoenix wins the Lich vs Phoenix matchup: Phoenix beats Lich in 50.53% of 845 ranked matches.
Casting Chain Frost on a team trying to kill a Supernova egg is a dream scenario, as the ultimate bounces between the clustered heroes. But this cuts both ways. A smart Phoenix player knows this and can bait the spell, because if Lich's team fails to destroy the egg, the fight is lost. The rest of the game follows this pattern of trading advantages. Lich can interrupt Sun Ray with a well-timed Sinister Gaze, but Phoenix can often escape kill attempts with Icarus Dive. Neither hero can consistently shut the other down, making fights a matter of who uses their key spells more effectively.
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Lich's win rate against Phoenix in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
