Why this works

Having both heroes on a team often slows down the game, as neither provides early pressure or helps secure map control quickly. Winter Wyvern's Winter's Curse can set up a big teamfight, but Sniper cannot damage the primary target of the spell. This forces him to shoot at the other heroes attacking their ally, who may not be the priority. Furthermore, while Cold Embrace is a powerful save against physical damage, it also prevents Sniper from attacking for the duration. This can stop a gank, but it also takes your main damage source out of the fight at a critical moment.

The result is teamfights that feel awkward. Wyvern might land a perfect ultimate on an enemy carry, only for Sniper to be unable to contribute to the kill. The fight then becomes about hitting secondary targets, which isn't always the path to victory. When trying to save Sniper with Cold Embrace, your team loses its damage output, giving the enemy a window to reset or press their advantage on your other heroes. While both heroes control space well from a distance, their most impactful abilities have a negative interaction, making it difficult to coordinate a clean fight and pull ahead.
