Dota 2 - Which are the best lane companions for Winter Wyvern?

Introduction

Winter Wyvern is one of the best defensive supports in Dota 2. Once he was released a couple of years ago, he quickly became one of the most popular support heroes, especially in pro games. Unlike some other support heroes, he doesn't really need that many items in order to be effective because his spells are very well optimized.

However, apart from being a defensive hero, Winter Wyvern can also do a pretty substantial amount of damage during the early game. Even though he doesn't have a stun, he has two slows, which can be more than enough to score kills in the laning stage. Having said that, let's take a look and see which are the best heroes that you can pick alongside WW.

Wraith King

Despite being a strength hero, Wraith King is fairly squishy early on because he doesn't have that much armor. As a result, many offlaners can easily harras him and reduce his farming speed a lot. This is where WW comes to play because the dragon can keep him on maximum HP, without having to waste gold on regen. Also, when both heroes decide to kill someone, they have two slows and a stun, which should be enough to score a kill in most cases.

Morhpling

Morph is one of the strongest late-game carries in Dota 2 and he happens to work very well with Winter Wyvern. One of the reasons for that is because Morphling can go full agility, which will make him have a health pool of around 400. As a result, whenever WW uses her heal, he will always have maximum HP. Of course, let's also not forget about the slow, which helps Morph land his attacks on the enemy.

Phantom Lancer

The last hero on this list is Phantom Lancer and we believe this one needs to explanation. These two heroes have three separate stuns, all of which are super effective, so the enemy offlaner does not really stand a chance.
