How Snapfire and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Snapfire and Io win 49.13% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 7,456 matches.
Boosting Snapfire with Overcharge turns her into a more consistent right-click threat. The attack speed from Io, combined with the slow from Lil' Shredder, helps her control skirmishes and stick to targets. Io's Tether also gives Snapfire the mobility to either chase down kills or reposition after an aggressive Firesnap Cookie. The constant healing and damage reduction from Io makes Snapfire surprisingly tough to bring down, allowing her to stay in fights longer and apply more pressure than she normally could.
This pair looks to create map pressure during the mid-game. A Relocate gank can position Snapfire to use Mortimer Kisses on unsuspecting enemies from a safe angle. The main plan involves Io and Snapfire moving around the map together, hunting for pickoffs on anyone caught out of position. This strategy is vulnerable, though. If opponents can survive the initial burst and turn on either hero, especially the fragile Io, the gank can quickly fall apart. Their success relies heavily on good positioning and catching targets alone.
