Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lich wins the Lich vs Tusk matchup: Lich beats Tusk in 55.95% of 25,585 ranked matches.
Controlling the map and taking objectives feels incredibly difficult for a Tusk against a Lich. The entire game plan for Tusk revolves around landing a good Snowball and bursting a target with his team, but Lich has the perfect defensive toolkit. A well-timed Frost Shield on the initiated hero will absorb the physical damage from Tag Team and slow any follow-up. Even if Tusk connects, a simple Sinister Gaze can drag him out of position for an easy counter-kill. Later in the game, Tusk’s own abilities backfire, as both Snowball and Ice Shards tend to group heroes up for a perfect Chain Frost. Lich effectively neuters Tusk’s aggression at every stage.
