Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich wins the Lich vs Spirit Breaker matchup: Lich beats Spirit Breaker in 52.12% of 2,377 ranked matches.
Finding successful ganks becomes much more difficult for Spirit Breaker, which can slow down his whole team’s momentum. A Charge of Darkness is often aimed at an isolated hero, but Lich can shut down the attempt from a safe distance. Applying Frost Shield to the target makes them much harder to kill and slows Spirit Breaker's attack speed. If the gank looks like it might work anyway, Sinister Gaze can pull Spirit Breaker off the target and hold him in place for a counter-kill. These failed rotations give Lich's team safer farm and more room to operate, leading to a small but consistent advantage over the course of a game.
