How Lich and Treant Protector perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich and Treant Protector win 49.81% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,700 matches.
Setting up teamfights with both Lich and Treant Protector seems like a safe bet. You can use Overgrowth to guarantee a perfect Chain Frost, and your core gets to stack both Frost Shield and Living Armor, making them incredibly tough to kill. The problem is that both heroes offer a similar kind of defensive utility. Once the initial combo is done, your team can be left without enough damage to actually finish the fight you've so neatly controlled. This leaves you with great setup and protection but not the offensive threat needed to reliably close out games, which is why the pairing doesn't always lead to a clear advantage.
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.
