How Bloodseeker and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bloodseeker and Io win 49.52% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 315 matches.
Taking over the map and accelerating farm is the main goal here. The threat of Io's Relocate forces enemies to play safer, giving your team space and objective control from the midgame onward. A Relocating Io brings a Bloodseeker who is already incredibly fast from Thirst, then adds Tether's speed on top to ensure no one gets away. Once on the target, Overcharge provides the attack speed and durability Bloodseeker needs to chew through a Ruptured enemy and survive any return damage. This allows the pair to create pressure everywhere and snowball toward a quick victory.
