How Ogre Magi and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ogre Magi and Winter Wyvern win 50.72% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,475 matches.
Having these two on a team doesn't drastically change the game's tempo, as their kits don't directly amplify one another. Ogre Magi wants to run at the enemy, providing Bloodlust and stuns at close range to help a core trade hits. Winter Wyvern prefers to play from the backline, looking for a long-range counter-initiation with Winter's Curse or a save with Cold Embrace. While putting Bloodlust on allies hitting a Cursed target is a small benefit, it's not a dedicated combo. Their abilities operate on different timers and from different positions, so they rarely set each other up for a powerful play that wouldn't have otherwise been possible.
This pairing often results in two supports playing separate games to enable the team. Ogre Magi sticks with an aggressive core to force fights, while Winter Wyvern provides a defensive safety net for everyone. Opponents will try to split them up or burst a target before Cold Embrace can land. The success of this lane isn't about some special combination between the two. It's more about how well they can independently help their cores execute their own plans, leading to a fairly average, predictable outcome.
