Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Io wins the Primal Beast vs Io matchup: Io beats Primal Beast in 50.04% of 6,931 ranked matches.
Trying to lock down a target with Pulverize can be difficult when Io is on the other team. The tethered ally can often be pulled away, breaking the channel and wasting Primal Beast’s biggest spell. Relocate also serves as a get-out-of-jail-free card against a successful gank. However, this matchup depends entirely on who Primal Beast jumps on. If the Beast catches Io out of position, the support is too fragile to survive the combo and has no reliable way to interrupt the ultimate. The lane and mid-game fights hinge on this positioning battle, making it a very even exchange where either hero can come out ahead depending on the situation.
