How Broodmother and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Broodmother and Io win 51.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,992 matches.
Taking over a lane with Broodmother can be made safer with an Io partner. Tether provides the sustain and movement speed to help her stick to targets, while Overcharge makes her significantly harder to bring down if she gets caught and focused. A successful Relocate can also turn a split-push into a surprise gank, or offer a clean escape after taking a tower. The core issue, however, is that Io does nothing to protect the spiderlings. If the enemy team has strong area-of-effect spells to clear the swarm, a huge part of Broodmother's pressure and damage is neutralized, regardless of how much help Io provides to the main hero.
