How Pudge and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pudge and Winter Wyvern win 53.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 11,956 matches.
Landing a Meat Hook near Winter Wyvern can often secure a kill. If Pudge connects, Wyvern can immediately cast Winter's Curse on the victim's allies, preventing any saves while Pudge uses Dismember. This turns a standard pick-off into a completely isolated execution. Outside of their ultimates, Wyvern's long-range slow from Arctic Burn can also make it easier for Pudge to find his mark from a distance, while Splinter Blast adds good area damage on top of a hooked target and their rescuers.
The main goal for this duo is to find pick-offs around the map during the mid-game, creating an advantage to take towers or Roshan. The plan depends on Pudge landing a key hook and the coordination of two long-cooldown ultimates for one kill, which keeps the combination from feeling overwhelming. Defensively, Winter Wyvern offers a valuable save with Cold Embrace. A Pudge who gets caught out after committing with Rot can be made immune to physical damage, giving him a chance to survive fights he otherwise wouldn't.
