How Terrorblade and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Terrorblade and Io win 43.89% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 360 matches.
Pairing a hard carry with Io is a classic plan, but it falls apart with Terrorblade. A huge part of Terrorblade's damage comes from his illusions, which get no benefit from Io's Tether or other buffs. This leaves Io amplifying only a fraction of the hero's total output. Worse, their survival tools are at odds. Io will try to heal a low-health Terrorblade, but that's precisely when TB wants to use Sunder to swap HP with an enemy. Io's healing can easily ruin a perfect Sunder opportunity, making the combination feel much weaker than it looks on paper.
