How this matchup plays

Trying to burst down any hero feels impossible when an Io is on the other team. Puck wants to jump in with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift to secure a fast kill, but Io's tethered healing often negates the entire damage combo. Even a multi-hero Dream Coil struggles to have an impact. The targets inside the coil receive so much regeneration and damage reduction from Io's abilities that they can usually survive the duration or the break-stun without issue. If a core is ever truly in danger, Io can simply Relocate them back to the fountain, leaving Puck with all spells on cooldown and completely out of position. It's a frustrating fight from start to finish.
