How Death Prophet and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Death Prophet and Io win 47.92% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,903 matches.
Coordinating map movements with this duo can feel a bit disjointed. Death Prophet's game plan revolves around grouping the team to push towers whenever Exorcism is available. Io often prefers enabling a single, aggressive carry elsewhere on the map, splitting the team's focus and pressure. While a Tether can help a ulting Death Prophet survive and reposition, she doesn't typically build the items to fully leverage Io's attack speed bonus from Overcharge. If the fight turns, Io is also vulnerable, as DP's main escape is Spirit Siphon, which doesn't bring her partner along. Their timings and goals don't always line up neatly.
