Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet wins the Death Prophet vs Winter Wyvern matchup: Death Prophet beats Winter Wyvern in 51.60% of 2,438 ranked matches.
Using Cold Embrace to save an ally from Exorcism seems like the obvious move, but it often only buys a few seconds. Death Prophet’s ghosts will simply retarget, continuing to melt your team while their initial victim is on ice. The real play for Winter Wyvern is to use Winter's Curse on Death Prophet herself, turning her own allies against her and neutralizing her for the duration. The matchup swings on this interaction. If Death Prophet gets her Silence off first, she can prevent the Curse or any other save, and her spirits will run rampant. If Winter Wyvern lands her ultimate on the right target at the right time, she can single-handedly stop the push.
