How Tinker and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Tinker and Winter Wyvern win 49.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,779 matches.
Setting up a kill with Winter's Curse often feels like the goal, but the main target of the ultimate is immune to all damage from your team. This means Tinker can't unload his Laser and Heat-Seeking Missiles on the hero Winter Wyvern has locked down. He can still hit the secondary targets with spells, but his single-target burst is completely nullified on the priority enemy. Cold Embrace can also be awkward; saving Tinker from right-clicks is good, but it holds him in place, preventing a Blink Dagger escape and leaving him exposed to follow-up magic damage. The key spells of both heroes simply don't align well, leading to clunky teamfights.
