How Riki and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Riki and Io win 56.68% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 397 matches.
Taking over the map early defines this duo. The constant threat of Io using Relocate to bring Riki onto an unsuspecting hero forces enemies to play defensively and grouped up. This reaction slows their economy and gives Riki the space he needs to accelerate his own farm and hit key item timings ahead of schedule. Once they commit to a gank, Io provides the sustain and durability Riki often lacks. Tether keeps him healthy for extended chases, and Overcharge makes him a much tougher target to bring down inside his Smoke Screen, securing kills that he might not survive on his own.
