How Pugna and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pugna and Winter Wyvern win 48.95% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,526 matches.
Getting caught by a Winter's Curse can be awkward for everyone when Pugna is on the attacking team. The ultimate forces allies to deal physical damage to the target, but Pugna's main burst combo involves Decrepify, which makes a target immune to physical attacks while amplifying magic damage. This forces a difficult choice: either Pugna holds his spells and loses impact, or he uses Decrepify and negates his team's damage during the stun. While Winter Wyvern offers a great save for a Life Drain channel with Cold Embrace, their core teamfight spells actively work against one another. This friction often leads to clumsy execution and wasted damage potential in crucial moments.
