How Chaos Knight and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Winter Wyvern win 53.94% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,536 matches.
Winter's Curse forces an enemy's allies to attack them, which can disable an entire group. This creates a clean window for Chaos Knight to Reality Rift onto a secondary target and burst them down with his illusions while they are taunted. The lockdown also provides an easy setup for a long Chaos Bolt stun. The coordination can feel clumsy, though. Chaos Knight cannot damage the primary cursed hero, so a poorly timed ultimate from Winter Wyvern can ruin his initiation. Her other spells don't add much to his physical damage plan, making this lane feel inconsistent outside of that one specific teamfight interaction.
