How Abaddon and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Winter Wyvern win 50.48% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,767 matches.
Trying to burst down a core against this pair can be incredibly frustrating. Winter Wyvern can make an ally immune to physical damage with Cold Embrace, and Abaddon can layer his Aphotic Shield on top to absorb incoming magic spells. This creates a short window where a friendly hero is almost completely invulnerable. The problem is that this synergy is purely defensive. A team with both Abaddon and Winter Wyvern can find itself with plenty of saves but not enough lockdown or damage to actually initiate fights and win them. They are excellent at preventing a death, but they don't always provide the tools to secure a kill in return.
