Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition wins the Ancient Apparition vs Winter Wyvern matchup: Ancient Apparition beats Winter Wyvern in 51.77% of 933 ranked matches.
Winning the big teamfights feels more consistent when playing against a Winter Wyvern. The main reason is that Ancient Apparition's Ice Blast completely shuts down the healing from Cold Embrace, turning Wyvern's best save into a simple physical immunity buff that doesn't stop the shatter. This means your team can commit to bursting a target without worrying about WW turning the fight with a huge heal. To be fair, this matchup hasn't come up much lately, so how the cores play around it could make a difference.
