How Crystal Maiden and Sven perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden and Sven win 53.04% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,465 matches.
Accelerating Sven's farm is the main idea behind this pairing. Crystal Maiden's Arcane Aura gives him all the mana he needs to spam Warcry and Storm Hammer, letting him clear jungle stacks without constantly going back to base. This helps him hit his item timings sooner, so the team can start forcing fights or taking Roshan earlier. In those fights, Frostbite then helps a big Sven stick to his targets. This combo hasn't been seen much lately, so it's hard to be certain how well it still holds up.
