Trying to save an ally with Cold Embrace feels pointless against a Zeus. The physical immunity does nothing to stop his magical burst damage. While your carry is frozen and healing, Zeus can simply finish them off from afar with a Lightning Bolt or Thundergod's Wrath. This turns Winter Wyvern's strongest defensive spell into a weak heal-over-time that often fails to keep a focused target alive, undermining a huge part of her value in a teamfight.
Throughout the game, this pressure forces Winter Wyvern to play reactively. Her team can't count on being saved from Zeus's magical onslaught. Wyvern's best tool against him is Winter's Curse, which can completely turn a fight if she catches the right targets and forces Zeus's team to attack each other. However, a smart Zeus often positions himself so far back that he's difficult to catch in the initial setup, allowing him to continue outputting damage while Wyvern's ultimate is on cooldown.
