How this matchup plays

Trying to secure a kill with Life Drain becomes difficult when Io can save the target with a well-timed Relocate. Pugna wants to set up his Nether Ward and force an enemy team to fight inside its radius, punishing them for using their spells. However, Io's ability to reposition his allies lets his team choose their battles more carefully, often disengaging from a bad fight or ganking Pugna from an unexpected angle. While a poorly positioned hero can still get drained or punished by the ward, Io’s toolkit gives his team a consistent option to play around Pugna’s core strategy, which can be enough to tip the scales over the course of a game.
