How Nature's Prophet and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nature's Prophet and Io win 41.77% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 589 matches.
Tethering to a Nature's Prophet is often a poor use of Io's abilities. Prophet is usually too fragile to be the frontline hero that Io wants to empower, and he already has his own global mobility with Teleportation. This core conflict means their game plans rarely line up. Io wants to bring a single, powerful core to a fight with Relocate, turning a skirmish into a decisive win. Nature's Prophet, on the other hand, excels at applying pressure across the entire map, forcing reactions and splitting the enemy team. Their global abilities are redundant rather than complementary, leaving both heroes feeling like they're playing separate games on the same map.
