How Lich and Undying perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Lich and Undying win 54.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 17,926 matches.
Trying to focus the Tombstone is the trap. It seems like the right play, but Lich can cast Frost Shield on it, making it absurdly hard to kill. While you're hitting the Tombstone, zombies are slowing you, Undying is stealing your strength with Decay, and you're getting worn down. The slows from both heroes stack up, so you can't get away from the zombies. The whole setup becomes a perfect bounce house for Chain Frost, which will rip through anyone clumped up trying to kill the totem.
This duo creates a miserable lane where enemies are constantly low on health and slowed. Later, the combo defines teamfights. A well-placed Tombstone with Frost Shield demands an answer, but committing to killing it is suicide because you'll be stuck in Undying's Flesh Golem slow and Lich's spells. The enemy team is forced to scatter to avoid the bounces from Chain Frost, which makes it even harder for them to deal with the zombies or focus down a priority hero.
