How Omniknight and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Omniknight and Io win 50.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,453 matches.
Trying to bring down a hero tethered by Io is often a futile effort, and Omniknight's presence can make it even harder. A well-timed Heavenly Grace or Guardian Angel on Io's partner creates an incredibly durable core that can be impossible to burst down. This allows a carry to play aggressively, knowing they have multiple layers of protection. The main issue is that both Omniknight and Io are defensive by nature. They offer very little lockdown or lane pressure together, putting the entire burden of initiation and control on their other teammates. If their chosen carry can't find a way to apply damage, this defensive pairing has few other ways to win a fight.
