Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet wins the Death Prophet vs Io matchup: Death Prophet beats Io in 50.17% of 2,308 ranked matches.
Deciding how to survive a midgame Death Prophet push often comes down to saving your core. Io offers a few decent answers here. Tether gives an ally the movement speed needed to kite away from her, while Overcharge provides damage reduction that can help them live through an entire Exorcism. If a key hero gets caught by Silence, Io can use Relocate as an escape hatch, forcing Death Prophet to waste her biggest cooldown without securing a kill. This makes it difficult for her to generate the momentum she relies on. The core conflict is that Io enables single-target mobility and survival, which directly undermines Death Prophet’s slow-moving, area-of-effect assault.
