How Lich and Lone Druid perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich and Lone Druid win 50.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 350 matches.
Pushing down a tower early becomes much safer with this pair. Lone Druid's Spirit Bear can tank structures and heroes for a long time, and Lich makes it even tougher with Frost Shield. The damage reduction and slow lets the bear stick on targets and shrug off harass, creating a huge amount of pressure. This lets Lone Druid secure his own farm while controlling the enemy's side of the map. Later on, a well-placed Sinister Gaze can hold a key enemy for the bear to maul, and Chain Frost punishes any attempt to group up and fight the push. It's a simple but effective way to build a lead and close out a game.
