Lich — hero grid for mains

Every Dota client, Russian included, shows the name Lich. The site's dictionary has no English nickname for Lich — people just type the name. On Russian servers you will hear “Лич”.

Valve's one-line description from the hero list: “Unleashes a powerful attack that bounces between enemies”.

The site's “Choose a hero” window finds Lich by either “Lich” or “Лич”.

A ranged Intelligence hero — one of 34 — Lich gets 1 of 3 on Valve's complexity scale, one of the 55 easiest heroes.

Valve's roles for Lich, rated 1 to 3: Support ●●●, Nuker ●●○ — maxed out: Support.

By attributes puts Lich in the “INTELLIGENCE” (9th of 34) block; By complexity — in the “EASY” (23rd of 55) band. Lich is also in Beginner: easy heroes — column “5 · HARD SUPPORT”, 5th of 12.

One position only for Lich: hard support (5), with the next best score at just 0.26. The site's position scores (best = 1) are carry 0 · mid 0.02 · offlane 0 · soft support 0.26 · hard support 1, so Pick by stats puts the hero into the “5 · HARD SUPPORT” row only.

The “Make a grid with Lich” button opens Mains + situational with Lich first in the MAINS block, followed by Winter Wyvern, Crystal Maiden and Witch Doctor — all three share the same main position (hard support), the same attribute and ranged attack.
