Beastmaster + Lich

Why this works

Pushing down a tower with an early army of summons feels less secure when your support's kit doesn't offer much burst follow-up. Beastmaster's entire game plan revolves around using Primal Roar to create an opening, then overwhelming an objective with his controlled units. Lich contributes a slow from Frost Blast, but his real power comes from Chain Frost, which requires enemies to be grouped up. The problem is that Beastmaster's initiation often isolates a single target or pushes enemies apart, which is the opposite of an ideal setup for Lich's ultimate. They lack a clean way to convert a pickoff into a wider teamfight win.

This pairing often results in a split-purpose mid-game. Beastmaster wants to be the aggressor, forcing down buildings and controlling the map with his vision and summons. Lich, on the other hand, excels at enabling a carry and turning defensive situations with a well-placed Frost Shield or a bouncing ultimate. While Lich can certainly help keep Beastmaster alive during a push, he doesn't accelerate the objective-taking himself. The two end up playing separate games on the same map, which can work out, but it rarely creates the kind of decisive advantage a more focused draft would.
