How Dragon Knight and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dragon Knight and Winter Wyvern win 48.63% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,219 matches.
Getting caught by a Dragon Tail stun often feels like a death sentence, but the follow-up from a friendly Winter Wyvern can be clumsy. If she uses Winter's Curse on that same target, she prevents Dragon Knight from contributing his own considerable physical damage during the disable. While Cold Embrace is a decent save for a front-lining Dragon Knight, and his stun sets up Splinter Blast nicely, their signature teamfight spells clash. The need to coordinate perfectly to avoid wasting one hero's main contribution can lead to missed opportunities. It forces a choice between two different lockdown plans instead of letting them stack together smoothly for an easy kill.
