How Enigma and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Enigma and Io win 50.12% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,119 matches.
The game plan with this duo can feel a bit stretched in the early and mid-game. Both Enigma and Io need a fair amount of resources to hit their key timings; Enigma needs his Blink Dagger for Black Hole, and Io needs levels to be effective. This can create a passive start where neither hero is applying pressure. The main synergy, using Relocate to set up a surprise Black Hole, is a huge investment of two game-changing ultimates. It's a telegraphed play that can be easily spoiled by a single stun or a well-placed ward. When it fails, both heroes are often left stranded and vulnerable, making the entire strategy a significant gamble.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
