Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Io wins the Timbersaw vs Io matchup: Io beats Timbersaw in 60.19% of 417 ranked matches.
Getting jumped as a core is much less scary when Io is tethered to you. Timbersaw needs to stay on top of a target to apply his damage over time, but Io makes this nearly impossible. The Tether speed boost helps his ally kite the Chakram, while the slow punishes Timbersaw for getting close. Any damage that does land is often negated by the constant healing passthrough from Io. The worst part for Timbersaw is Relocate. He can commit with Timber Chain only for Io to save his target, leaving Timbersaw stranded deep in enemy territory and completely out of position. This turns his aggression into a liability.
