In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Lich win 48.78% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 41 matches.

Small sample: this pairing has only 41 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.

Why this works

Picking both Chen and Lich often forces your cores to provide all the initiation and lockdown for the entire team. While both heroes offer strong defensive tools and lane pressure, they lack a single reliable stun between them. This makes setting up kills for Lich's Chain Frost difficult and leaves Chen’s army without a way to hold targets in place. Both supports tend to play from the backline, providing saves and control from a distance. The end result is a draft that feels passive, struggles to start fights on its own terms, and can be easily split-pushed or kited by a more mobile lineup.
