Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord wins the Underlord vs Io matchup: Underlord beats Io in 55.09% of 452 ranked matches.
Playing into an Underlord feels very awkward for Io. Trying to execute a Relocate gank is risky, as a well-placed Pit of Malice can root both heroes on arrival, completely spoiling the surprise. In larger teamfights, Underlord's presence makes it difficult for Io’s partner to stand their ground and fight. Firestorm punishes heroes who aren't moving, and Io's tethered carry is often a prime target. Atrophy Aura also chips away at the carry's damage output, weakening the very thing Io is trying to amplify. While Io can still reposition allies and save them with a clutch Relocate, Underlord's sustained area control makes it much harder to set up favorable fights.
