How this matchup plays

Thinking you can burst a hero tethered to Io is a mistake. Templar Assassin wants to delete a target in a few quick hits from Meld, but Io's Overcharge provides enough damage reduction and regeneration to let the ally survive the initial burst. At the same time, Io's Spirits will shred through all of Templar Assassin's Refraction charges almost instantly. This leaves a fragile TA completely exposed with her main defensive tool gone. Even if the gank looks good, Io can use Relocate to either bring in a counter-gank or save the target, frustrating the solo pickoffs that Templar Assassin needs to snowball.
