Why chain frost is so useless?

[KTA.Silhouette]

no matter how i use it seems to be very easy for enemy to avoid it. unless they are stunned by magnus or blackhole, put those two support skill aside lich ss is so useless'

[Postal Dude of Cykaland]

Listen, listen, listen.

You use it when the are preocupied with your team and are bunched up. That is how you use it,

[Sir Jam Custard]

Chain frost is basically a teamfight ender if they don't leave they die. Use it during not before a teamfight and you might land it and get a kill.

[Kodaxmax]

Use it when they are stunned, make them scatter or run away. In teamfights with alot of mele its excelent. Paring it with somthing like wyvern or enigmas ult is the best way to use it.

[The Haunt]

its a bad initiation, good at the mid and end of team fights, also early game if no teamfights are gonna happen you can use it to just confirm kills

[stardenburdenhardenbart]

Ok..
for a skill that deals 460 magic damage that bounces 10 times with pretty big jump range(575) and slows enemies hit by 30%.
also it deals 550 damage per bounce with sceptre and removes the bounce limit(meaning it will bounce indefinitely as long as there are valid targets in the skills AOE)

yeah sure..
it's pretty useless
i guess you suck at using lich and don't know when and where to use his ultimate properly

[Dashiell]

Chain Frost is so useless it can obliterate enemy team during team fight.

[Woody]

It's why lich has to be picked with the right team, people like treant protcetor, magnus & disruptor are great teamates for him. Also even if you don't have aoe disables it is a spell immunity peirceing mini-stun so you can cancle balck hole and other such spells as well as tp's even if they BKB.

[LeRaft]

chain frost not useless

[Jargas]

Like everyone's already said use with heroes that have a mass stun or once a team fight is in full swing otherwise it's avoidable

[The Haunt]

you can also with aghs put it on enemy ancients, and keep putting it on them so making the ancients unfarmable or killing whoever it farms, it may even bounce back after killing a person

[SynC[+]]

Its generally used in wombo combo lineups so if you are casting it willy nilly, expect delta spilts from your enemy heroes (unless maybe trench tier teams or something)

That being said, it is one of the easiest skills to wombo combo with so its a great skill if used well...
