How Doom and Lich perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Doom and Lich win 49.85% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,595 matches.
Trading hits in the offlane is where this pair should feel strongest. Lich putting Frost Shield on Doom makes him incredibly tough to fight, slowing anyone who tries to right-click him while Scorched Earth burns them down. Lich can also set up kills with a well-timed Sinister Gaze, pulling an enemy into range for Doom's Infernal Blade. The main issue is that this combo lacks a hard, instant disable from the support role, so enemies with escape abilities can sometimes get away even when caught out.
This tension continues into the mid-game. Doom's entire goal is to use his ultimate to isolate and neutralize a single, high-value enemy. The problem is that Lich's most impactful spell, Chain Frost, needs enemies to be grouped up to do real damage. The perfect setup for Doom is often a terrible one for Chain Frost, and a great Chain Frost fight might mean Doom can't safely reach his preferred target. They rely on the enemy team making a very specific positioning mistake to get full value from both ultimates at once.
