Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Io wins the Medusa vs Io matchup: Io beats Medusa in 50.49% of 5,876 ranked matches.
Drafting Io against Medusa is a commitment to an aggressive, early-game plan. The goal is to use Relocate to repeatedly find and kill Medusa, disrupting her farm and preventing her from becoming a problem. This strategy can be effective against a hero with no natural escape. However, Medusa is built to endure single-target pressure thanks to Mana Shield. Later in the game, her Split Shot is guaranteed to damage both Io and his tethered ally in teamfights. A well-timed Stone Gaze can also completely punish an aggressive Relocate initiation. The matchup becomes a race, with Io trying to enable a snowball before Medusa can come online and overwhelm his team.
