Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Lich wins the Lich vs Vengeful Spirit matchup: Lich beats Vengeful Spirit in 51.08% of 51,187 ranked matches.
Getting caught by Sinister Gaze is normally a death sentence, but Vengeful Spirit has the perfect answers. She can instantly break the channel with either Magic Missile from a distance or, more devastatingly, Nether Swap places Lich in the exact spot he was trying to drag her ally. This makes it very hard for Lich to reliably set up kills. On the other hand, Lich's Frost Shield is excellent for mitigating the burst damage on a hero Venge swaps into her team. A poorly timed Swap can also clump heroes together for a clean Chain Frost bounce. It’s a matchup of reactions where whoever uses their key spell first often wins the exchange.
