How Lich and Ringmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich and Ringmaster win 49.58% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,681 matches.
Getting the carry off to a fast start can be a problem with this duo. The lane itself has plenty of control but can lack the sustained damage needed to truly dominate and create space. Ringmaster is great at setting enemies up, and Lich follows through, but they often can't secure the kill on their own. The mid-game synergy is clearer; Ringmaster can pull enemies together for a big Chain Frost, while Lich’s Frost Shield is a reliable tool for saving a core. Still, the combination feels a bit passive overall, relying heavily on a third hero to bring the damage and convert their setup into objectives.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
