How this matchup plays

Catching someone with X Marks the Spot creates a major problem for Io's typical save attempts. If Io tries to use Relocate to pull an ally to safety, Kunkka can simply wait and pull the target right back, completely negating the escape and securing the kill. This interaction alone can dismantle Io's ability to protect key heroes across the map. On the other hand, a core hero Tethered to Io is often too fast and resilient to be an easy target for Kunkka's combo. The added movement speed makes Torrent hard to land, and the damage reduction from Overcharge can let them survive Ghostship, turn, and run Kunkka down. The game often hinges on who acts first.
