How Primal Beast and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Primal Beast and Winter Wyvern win 48.91% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,697 matches.
Using Primal Beast's Pulverize on the target of Winter's Curse seems like a powerful lockdown, but it actively works against Wyvern's ultimate. Winter's Curse forces enemies to attack its victim, but once Primal Beast grabs that hero, they can no longer be attacked by their own teammates, wasting most of the ultimate's damage. This core conflict means the two heroes are often fighting over who gets to use their big spell, rather than combining them. A poorly timed Cold Embrace from Winter Wyvern can also stop Primal Beast in his tracks right when he wants to be fighting. Because their main abilities can so easily interfere with one another, the pair struggles to find a consistent rhythm.
