Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Nyx Assassin wins the Nyx Assassin vs Io matchup: Nyx Assassin beats Io in 52.97% of 11,227 ranked matches.
Deciding to pick Nyx Assassin into an Io often feels like a gamble. On one hand, Nyx has the perfect tools to hunt a lone target. Vendetta lets him scout for the support, and a quick Impale into Mana Burn can leave Io helpless and out of resources for his team. This threat forces Io to play much more cautiously. On the other hand, Io is almost never alone. A good Io will stay Tethered to a dangerous core, turning Nyx's gank attempt into a suicide mission. The second Nyx breaks his invisibility, Io's partner can often turn and delete him. It all comes down to catching Io out of position, which is easier said than done.
