Lich is so strong in the suicide lane. He can deny(eat) creeps, constantly blast opponents with nova (from extra mana) and if he gets tower dived he can just ult. You're basically controlling a hard lane with a single hero. Hard to deny that thats a pretty fun role. | ||

because you know that the enemy hates you from the bottom of their hearts everytime you deny a creep its really just an annoying hero to lane against. | ||

No matter how much the am cant keep his lane stable, the lich will do it for him. tryhardsssss Lich hate is quite hilarious at times. Remember that doom hated me so much he doomed me after i ulti'ed and chased me out of the base when 4 heroes on his ass. | ||

Its not worth it to bring in a support to let a lich back into the game. And lich doesn't have any escape to let him get to the wardspot (or more importantly, back) after 0:00. The lane ward will spot the lich going to ward, and he should be caught out and killed if he tries. | ||

At that skill level they won't bring sentries, they probably won't even pull which will negate lich's need to ward the camp in the first place | ||

The main problems with lich offlane is that he as a hero just isn't very effective overall as a part of the team. His overall strength in lane as a babysit is completely forgotten due to having to solo. His nonexistent waveclear means that he can easily lose 2 towers within 10 minutes should the other team wish to do so. His scaling becomes early game - afk, mid game - walking ult, late game - atm which is rather.... yeah | ||

The fact that lich can deny means that he'll almost always at least get to level 2 and he puts constant pressure on the opposing carry/support(s) where unless they play perfectly, the creepwave will get out of controll and give lich exp.

I was thinking Aquila -> treads -> Linkens -> Manta -> Diffusal -> Heart or somesuch Holy crap did you just suggest something sensible (<3) Linkens is situational. It's a good item if you're against heroes like doom/beastmaster. It's also somewhat of a farming item, akin to battlefury or radiance. | ||
