How Centaur Warrunner and Lich perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Centaur Warrunner and Lich win 52.88% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 12,442 matches.
Thinking about this duo as a simple Hoof Stomp into Chain Frost setup is a common trap. The stun from Centaur Warrunner isn't that long, and he needs to be deep in the enemy team to land a good one. This forces Lich to also play far forward for his ultimate, which is a dangerous spot for a support. A more reliable interaction is Lich casting Frost Shield on Centaur as he initiates with Stampede. This makes Centaur tankier and slows anyone trying to focus him, but it's more of a defensive play than a guaranteed kill setup.
Success here is all about execution against the enemy draft. If the other team lacks escapes or instant stuns, Centaur can survive his dive and lock them down for a good Chain Frost. But against heroes with mobility or quick silences, Centaur can get blown up before using Stomp, leaving Lich awkwardly out of position. The outcome is conditional, relying entirely on Centaur landing his spell and the enemy lacking the right tools to punish the play. This makes the whole combination feel inconsistent from game to game.
