How Drow Ranger and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger and Io win 48.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 955 matches.
Taking over the map becomes much easier for this pairing. Drow Ranger can farm aggressively and show up to fights she would otherwise miss, accelerating her item progression and choking out the enemy. This happens because Io's Relocate can bring a fully buffed Drow anywhere for a surprise gank or objective push. In fights, Overcharge provides crucial attack speed and survivability, letting her melt targets from a safe distance. Tether helps with kiting and repositioning, solving one of her biggest weaknesses. If Drow gets caught out, a quick Relocate can save her, minimizing her downtime and keeping the pressure on the other team.
