How Bounty Hunter and Lich perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bounty Hunter and Lich win 55.10% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,608 matches.
Setting up a kill on an out-of-position enemy is where this pair has some potential. Lich can lead with Frost Blast for the initial nuke and slow, giving Bounty Hunter the opening he needs to connect with a Jinada strike out of stealth. The combined slows make it very difficult for a target to get away. Lich can also place Frost Shield on an aggressive Bounty Hunter, giving him extra durability to survive a turn-around or secure a kill under a tower. It’s a simple ganking setup that can work.
This early pressure helps accelerate the game through Track. The bonus gold from successful ganks is especially valuable for Lich, helping him reach key item timings much sooner than he otherwise would. The plan works well when you're ahead, but it can feel flimsy from behind. If the enemy team sticks together and avoids giving up solo deaths, both Bounty Hunter and Lich can have a hard time finding impact, as they aren't well-equipped to fight into a strong five-man unit on their own.
