How Kunkka and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Kunkka and Io win 52.07% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,658 matches.
Getting caught out by this pair can feel very awkward. Io provides everything a roaming Kunkka wants: extra movement speed from Tether to land combos, and survivability from Overcharge to stay in the fight. A well-timed Relocate can bring the Admiral in for a surprise Ghostship, or be combined with X-Marks the Spot to set up kills. The combination isn't seamless, though. This entire game plan depends on high-level coordination that can easily fall apart. Kunkka also doesn't scale with Io's buffs as well as a true right-click carry might, making the partnership feel inconsistent if they can't land their spell combinations on a reliable timer.
