How Pangolier and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Pangolier and Io win 45.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,587 matches.
Choosing a support for Pangolier involves deciding what kind of help he needs most. Io can offer great sustain and mobility with Tether, which is a powerful combination for a hero who wants to stay in the fight. The healing from Tether even continues to work while Pangolier is in his Rolling Thunder, making him more durable as he disrupts the enemy team. The main challenge is execution. Pangolier moves so erratically with Swashbuckle and his ultimate that keeping the Tether connected requires precise positioning from both players. If it breaks, Io is left stranded and vulnerable. This makes the partnership less consistent than pairing Pangolier with a support who offers more reliable lockdown to set up his abilities.
