Lich is a ranged intelligence support hero that is known to dominate the early game with his excellent lane control. He can use his Sacrifice to deny the enemy experience and pull the creep wave. His Frost Blast is a great harassing tool while his Ice Armor can make it harder for enemies to harss him or his allies effectively. Once the laning phase has passed, Lich is still a strong support with his Frost Blast and Ice Armor. His ultimate, Chain Frost, can potentially do a lot of damage if it catches two heroes alone, as well as being a very good slow.

Chain Frost creates a ball of ice that can bounce up to 10 times between enemy units, damaging and slowing units hit by it as well as mini-stunning the fist unit. The best scenario for this ability would be catching 2 heroes with one Chain Frost which will deal the highest possible damage to both heroes. Even though this won't be the case most of the time, it still does a lot of damage, and the slow will mean they won't run far before your teammates catch up and finish them. It synergises really well if there's any heroes on your team that can force a group of enemies close together. Dark Seer and Enigma are two great examples and can set up a very lethal combo with their pulling abilities.
