How Clinkz and Lich perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Clinkz and Lich win 53.71% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,710 matches.
Taking over the map early becomes a real possibility with this pair. Clinkz needs targets to stand still for his Burning Barrage, and Lich provides exactly that. A simple Frost Blast or a well-timed Sinister Gaze gives Clinkz the window he needs to melt an isolated hero. This setup isn't guaranteed, but it makes finding pickoffs much more reliable. Lich can also throw Frost Shield on Clinkz if a gank turns into a brawl, giving him some much-needed durability to finish the job or escape.
This duo is strongest during the mid-game, turning successful ganks into tower pressure and gold for Clinkz. The opposing team has to adapt by playing closer together and establishing defensive vision, which limits Clinkz's preferred solo targets. In larger teamfights, the synergy becomes less direct. Lich’s Chain Frost and slows are always useful, but Clinkz has to find his own way to deal damage without getting blown up, as the initial lockdown on a single hero becomes less impactful when their whole team is there to respond.
