How Visage and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Visage and Io win 56.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,177 matches.
Picking this duo is a bet on executing coordinated global ganks. The classic play is for Io to Relocate a charged-up Visage onto an unsuspecting target. Visage's immediate burst from Soul Assumption and his Familiars can secure a quick kill, which often snowballs into taking a tower. In fights, Overcharge makes Visage surprisingly tanky and boosts his own attack speed. However, the strategy relies heavily on perfect timing. A poorly chosen Relocate target or a quick defensive response can leave both heroes stranded and vulnerable. Since Io's direct buffs don't affect the Familiars, a large part of Visage's damage is independent, making the overall synergy less consistent than it might seem.
