Lich Counters (7.41e)
Who counters Lich in Dota 2 7.41e? The heroes Lich beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Lich is a lane-dominant support whose Frost Shield, Sinister Gaze, and bouncing Chain Frost can wipe a clumped, illusion-heavy team. He's strong into immobile, grouped heroes: Nature's Prophet, Mars and Timbersaw eat his nukes and bounces. Lich is countered by spread-out scalers and divers: Spectre and Wraith King out-last his burst, while Phantom Lancer makes Chain Frost bounce harmlessly among illusions and Riki ambushes him. Draft tip: Lich is a strong value support into grouped melee drafts; his Chain Frost is wasted into illusion comps and spread-out line-ups.
In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Lich hardest are Broodmother, Undying and Pugna — Lich wins only 39.4%, 44.4% and 44.5% of ranked matches against them.
