Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Winter Wyvern wins the Riki vs Winter Wyvern matchup: Winter Wyvern beats Riki in 50.96% of 365 ranked matches.
Trying to save someone from Riki feels like a coin flip. Winter Wyvern has Cold Embrace, which should be the perfect answer to his physical burst damage. The problem is, a good Riki won't let you cast it. He'll get on top of you or your carry and immediately drop Smoke Screen. The silence and miss chance usually give him enough time to secure the kill before you can react. While Winter's Curse is a powerful tool against him later, Riki's mobility and ability to become untargetable with Tricks of the Trade can make landing it difficult. He creates pressure and forces mistakes that Wyvern can’t always fix.
