I AM A LIVING ICE CUBE, PUT ON YOUR SODA GLASS

Hi Due to my first guide there will be errors in this guide. I am terribly sorry for that. Lich is my favorite hero ever, therefore I made this guide. To show all of you how to play Lich perfectly. Thanks again for trying reading this guide


The mighty Lich is one of the best heroes at controlling a lane, thanks to his Frost Nova and Dark Ritual spells. Frost Nova is a strong nuke that slows its target, which gives the Lich a good harassment tool. Repeatedly casting Frost Nova and harassing with physical attacks is a surefire way to quickly bring an enemy hero to his knees. However, Frost Nova becomes even more dangerous when coupled with Dark Ritual. This spell allows the Lich to destroy an allied creep and gain mana based on its life. Using this spell helps the Lich by giving him limitless mana for Frost Nova, and hinders his enemies by denying them any experience or gold they would have gained from the destroyed creep. By using Frost Nova and Dark Ritual liberally, the Lich can quickly force any opponent to retreat from his lane. Later in the game the Lich tends to focus on a support role, using his Frost Armor spell to buff the survivability of his allies, and his devastating Chain Frost to blast his foes in team battles.



Forcibly raised from the dead by the Lich King to serve as his elite magical guard, the Lich has the burning cold of Northrend in his realm of control. Evoking numerous freezing blasts, his talent in life still remains in death. Delving into the essence of cold magic, he has the power to cause ice to condense into an orb that bounces from foe to foe, causing tremendous pain in its wake. Sacrificing his allies for magical power, the Lich is a murderer without a trace of warmth.

Optional:

Get this to slower your slow enemy. Also great to boost status.

/
Hard carries keep targeting you? No worries, this will help you by killing them back.
Rejected:
It is better to get EoS then this orb item.


No, no, no. If you want to waste your gold, then waste it on something else it's better.


Fuck yourself is better than this item, seriously...

Special Mention:

You want this? Okay get it, and give it to you allies. This is only if you really don't know how to waste your money. Give it to your enemy to heat up the war, 90% you will lose though

Strategy:
Get top for sentinel and bottom for scourage. Remember this word "Your job is denying let your carry farm." Harass your enemy with Frost Nova. After level 6, keep participating in team fight and don't scared using Chain Frost, it is the key to win it. Keep farming and get the your item. Keep participating in team war.
