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

Relocating an ally away from a charging Illuminate seems straightforward, but this often plays into Keeper of the Light's hands. The real problem for Io isn't the blast itself, but the disruption that follows. A well-placed Blinding Light can easily push Io and their tethered partner apart, breaking the link and leaving the core stranded. Even if the Tether holds, the miss chance cripples the carry Io is trying to enable. This constant pressure makes it hard for Io's duo to find stable footing in a fight. While they are great at sustaining each other on the same team, playing against Keeper means Io is always struggling to keep his partner safe and effective.
