How Magnus and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Magnus and Io win 48.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,071 matches.
Playing against this pair means you can never feel completely safe farming a lane. Io's Relocate creates a constant global threat, allowing Magnus to appear from nowhere and land a Reverse Polarity on anyone caught out of position. This pressure forces the other team to adjust their map movements, as a simple push can turn into a lost teamfight. Even without the ultimate, the movement speed from Tether can give Magnus the edge he needs to chase down a target and pull them back with Skewer.
The success of this combination, however, hinges on timing and execution. Both Relocate and Reverse Polarity have long cooldowns, so a failed gank leaves the team without its biggest tools for a while. Magnus often needs a Blink Dagger to close the distance after relocating, and if that timing is delayed, the combo's window shrinks. Alert opponents will spread out or carry saves to withstand the initial burst. This leaves the game feeling very back-and-forth, where a single misplay can decide the outcome of a key fight.
