How Kunkka and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Winter Wyvern win 48.84% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,541 matches.
Facing down both of these heroes should be a death sentence, but their abilities can get in each other's way. Winter Wyvern’s ultimate, Winter's Curse, makes an enemy immune to damage from your team while forcing their allies to attack them. This directly conflicts with Kunkka's goal of bursting that same target with his Ghostship and Torrent combo. If both heroes use their spells on the same enemy, Kunkka's damage is completely nullified. A similar problem can occur with Cold Embrace. While it can save Kunkka's life by making him immune to physical damage, it also prevents him from attacking, potentially wasting a perfectly lined-up Tidebringer cleave that could have ended the fight.
