What do you guys think about Winter Wyvern?

[Say]

I hardly ever see anyone pick Winter Wyvern or even talk about her on the forums. She seems like the worlds most forgotten dota hero.

Her healing ability is second to none. With a high-health carries, her cold embrace can deal ludicrous numbers. Last game I played, her heal was ticking on pudge for 380 a second for a total of 1,520 total healing in 4 seconds!

The immobilization that comes with her cold embrace is easily negated by force staff.

She has incredible harass even in early game with her artic burn. One hit with her Artic burn can take out close to 50% of an enemies health even at level 1. The game doesn't list WW as an initiator but if you can open a fight with Artic burn ticking on all enemies, they don't stand a chance.

Using Splinter blast on creeps to snipe fleeing enemy heroes is hilarious especially with how long range her blast is and it deals decent damage.

Her Ult, Winter's Curse, is the perfect tool to either gank or peel for your allies. I can't count how many times i've saved an ally being chased by 3-4 enemies. The ult can peel and even get a kill if you're lucky it.

What do you guys think of Winter Wyvern? I've sampled almost all of the supports and nobody can dish out as much healing as Winter Wyvern can, with maybe the exception of phoenix if you can get your team to stack for the beam.

elder titan wants to say hi.

jokes aside, i think her ult could backfire if you don't have a good communication. though i used to love using her because of her E and R just wrecks common pub heroes.

[Chilli Dog Dave]

it's partly because she's a support. most supports dont get noticed, the other thing is her win rate "isn't up there" like invoko or mirana

Situational hero, most people draft at least 2 heroes that deal magic damage so her heal isn't working as it should and so many heroes can wait it out and just use stuns right after or for example Axe call...

Her ultimate is good but it's not going to stop the enemy team from pushing your base if you had a poor teamfight game before that.

They need to change winter for the better.

Question, WW ulti makes targeted enemy take attack from it's allies, but attacking allies don't take any external damage, so what if you ulti axe, can he hurt his allies with counter helix? Or what if Axe do blademail and you ulti him, his allies hit him, I assume answer to all of the above is all dmg from Axe to his allies is canceled?

hmmm

He will helix, but I don't think they will taje no reflected damage.
Anyway, its a stun.

well because if you used wyvern wrong it may mess up the entire clash and might end up losing.....
first try to know your hero's skills/abilities.....
dont ever use wyvern on low level bracket.... coz most of them really dont know her at all

[Zack Razer]

My core hero is Winter Wyvern. Wyvern is maybe underrated but best support according to me. Her curse & splinter blast is enough to scare anyone

[D. Igne Natura Renovatur Integra]

Played with a guy who randomed Winter Wyvern, was the only supp in team, and did pretty well.

[vongogh]

Reading the spell description, if WW ulti Axe, counter helix or blademail should dmg his allies hitting him, only enemies cannot hurt Axe or his affected allies.

She has some op abilities though, if she was a carry hero she would be top tier. She just really sluggish, big, low Heath and lacks damage. If you build her with enough mana regen and aghanims her Q rekts people. But she better as an anti right click support, like I pick her against meepo, pa, Sven, ck and every other right click and I can feel the tears of my rival supports.

She is good when majority of enemy team are compose of hard hitters....

The only annoying thing about her is that your splinter is useless when target enemy dont have any nearby enemy ally.... hope they change the splinter target unit to all so u can use it on your own allies as well and will be good partner to tank heroes
