Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Lich vs Snapfire matchup: Lich beats Snapfire in 53.72% of 22,470 ranked matches.
Trading hits in the side lane often feels like a stalemate. Snapfire brings a lot of pressure with Lil' Shredder, but Lich can completely neutralize that harass by putting Frost Shield on his carry. The shield's damage reduction and slow make it very difficult for Snapfire to win trades with right-clicks alone. Both heroes have strong kill potential with their other spells, so the lane often comes down to who has better backup or catches the other out of position, rather than one hero having a built-in advantage over the other.
Later on, the dynamic shifts to interrupting key spells in teamfights. Snapfire wants to find a safe spot to channel Mortimer Kisses, but a good Lich will be holding Sinister Gaze specifically to cancel it. On the other hand, Snapfire can use Firesnap Cookie to save an ally caught by Sinister Gaze or help them dodge a deadly Chain Frost bounce. The fight often hinges on which support has better vision and reaction time, as successfully landing or stopping one of these big ultimates can decide the outcome.
