How Ogre Magi and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ogre Magi and Io win 51.54% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,928 matches.
Piling buffs onto a single carry seems like a clear path to victory. Ogre Magi can provide Bloodlust while Io uses Tether and Overcharge, making one hero incredibly fast and resilient. The issue is that both supports are dedicating their entire game to one ally, which makes the team's strategy very predictable. Beyond the buffs, the two don't offer much combined utility. Ogre wants to be in the fight, while Io hangs back. They lack layered disables or ways to control a chaotic teamfight, putting immense pressure on their chosen core to perform.
The game plan for this duo is straightforward: survive the laning stage, then group up and empower one hero to run at the enemy. If that hero gets an early lead, the combined speed and attack speed from Ogre Magi and Io can feel overwhelming, allowing them to snowball the map. But experienced opponents will see this coming. They can focus all their resources on shutting down that one hero, knowing the rest of the team lacks the tools to stop them. A single well-timed stun or a Ghost Scepter on the right target can neutralize the entire strategy, making the outcome of the game feel like a toss-up.
