Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Io wins the Tusk vs Io matchup: Io beats Tusk in 52.83% of 11,503 ranked matches.
Trying to land a kill with Tusk often feels frustrating when an Io is on the other team. The classic Snowball into Ice Shards combo that isolates a target can be completely undone. Io can Tether to his ally, granting them enough speed to escape the shards or reposition. If the situation is more dire, a quick Relocate simply removes Tusk’s target from the fight, leaving him overextended and with his key cooldowns spent. This doesn't mean Tusk is useless; he can still provide teamfight control and might even try to focus down the fragile Io instead. However, Io's ability to consistently save allies from Tusk's aggression gives his team a noticeable advantage.
