Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.

Pitting these heroes against each other creates a duel where both have the tools to spoil the other's plans. Winter Wyvern's ultimate, Winter's Curse, can be devastating if it catches a core near Dark Willow while Bedlam is active. However, saving an ally with Cold Embrace is a double-edged sword. While it protects them from physical damage, it won't prevent the stun from Cursed Crown and it holds them in place, making them an easy target for Bramble Maze or follow-up magical burst. For her part, Dark Willow can use Shadow Realm to dodge a crucial spell or reposition safely. The outcome of a fight often depends on which hero executes their defensive play better, making for an unpredictable matchup.
