Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.

Trying to gank an Io lane is a pure test of execution for Earth Spirit. He has the perfect tools for a clean pick-off: a long-range stun from Rolling Boulder and a displacement from Boulder Smash to isolate one hero. This lockdown should be enough to kill Io's tethered partner. However, Io's entire purpose is to counter this kind of aggression. The bonus movement speed from Tether can be enough to create space, while Overcharge provides significant damage reduction to survive Earth Spirit's initial burst. It often comes down to who acts first; a perfectly timed gank can succeed, but a prepared Io can turn the fight completely.
