How this matchup plays

Trying to burst down a hero tethered to Io can be a frustrating experience for Brewmaster. The combination of Tether's speed boost and Overcharge's damage reduction makes it difficult to secure a kill before he needs to use Primal Split. Once split, the target can often kite the spirits or even be saved entirely by a well-timed Relocate, wasting the long cooldown. However, this isn't a one-sided affair. Brewmaster's spirits provide a huge amount of control, and if they manage to corner Io or its carry, the stuns and body blocking are often enough to secure the kill. The outcome really depends on which hero Brewmaster can isolate first.
