How Omniknight and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Omniknight and Winter Wyvern win 48.54% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,269 matches.
Using Cold Embrace on a core who is already under Omniknight's Guardian Angel feels like a waste of a major cooldown. Both heroes specialize in saving allies from physical damage, which creates a significant overlap in their kits. This redundancy often means your team composition lacks reliable lockdown or initiation that another support could have provided. While having two powerful defensive ultimates can occasionally win a drawn-out fight against the right enemy draft, it can also leave your team feeling passive and unable to set the tempo. Winter Wyvern wants to isolate a target with Winter's Curse for a quick kill, a plan that Omniknight's steady, sustain-based healing and damage doesn't directly amplify.
