How Huskar and Lich perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Huskar and Lich win 48.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 520 matches.
Watching Huskar dive a backliner with Life Break shows why this pairing has mixed results. On one hand, a pre-cast Frost Shield from Lich is a solid defensive buff, reducing damage and slowing anyone trying to kite the Huskar. Sinister Gaze can also hold the target in place if Lich is in position. The problem is that Lich doesn't provide the hard stun or burst save that a low-health Huskar often needs to survive his initial aggression. Their ultimates can also feel disconnected; Huskar’s dive can scatter the enemy team, making it difficult for Chain Frost to get ideal bounces. They have useful tools for each other, but their core game plans don't always overlap.
