Why this works
People see this pair and think of free kills with Lasso and Relocate back to the fountain. When it works, you can remove any hero from a fight before it even starts, which is a powerful advantage. The reality is that both Io and Batrider are very fragile and susceptible to stuns or silences. A single well-timed disable on either hero during the setup or channel breaks the whole play. Since Batrider has to get so close to initiate with his Blink Dagger, he's often an easy target for lockdown. This makes the classic combo much less reliable than it looks, turning many promising ganks into a trade or a disaster.
