How Ursa and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ursa and Io win 52.30% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 608 matches.
Playing for Relocate ganks commits both heroes to a very specific strategy. A successful gank can be devastating; Io gives Ursa the global presence he lacks, and Tether's speed boost ensures he can stick to a target and stack up damage. This can lead to a quick Roshan and early map dominance. The problem is that the plan is very predictable. Smart opponents will have vision, save abilities, or positioning ready to counter the Relocate. If the gank fails, both heroes are left out of position, and Ursa has lost critical farming time, setting his whole game back. It either snowballs or fizzles out completely.
