The Only Io Guide You’ll Ever Need 

Of course I graduated :) been waiting for this video a long time now! Appreciate how many man hours went into this, might just be your Magnum Opus. Your depth of understanding with Wisp is on full display here. The clockwise vs. counter-clockwise spirit hits and Tether to recover a missed pull were 2k MMR delta tips alone. Beautifully executed video

Massive respect to my guy. Was waiting for this

As a grandmaster IO with alooooot of games, even i learned a thing or two! Nice job buddy!

I gratuated 👌 A really great guide! I usually have a hard time watching anything from start to finish without skipping 😅but i was locked in for the whole video 👍👍 Edit : forgot to add, Liked & Subscribed!

Thank you soooo much for releasing this. There wasnt any good IO guide on youtube that I could find and you just made my life 10x easier. Getting this from someone that has your level of mastery on this hero for free is insane. Love you

"I Graduated :)" 😀

I haven't played for a year now, and I am not even an Io main, but I still graduated lol. Great guide! Detailed and with supporting visuals as well. This makes me want to play Io instead of spamming CM, Earth Spirit and Oracle mindlessly.

Thanks! New subscriber here. I graduated IO. More of this ULTIMATE guides please. 😁

Worth the wait! thanks a lot, please more in depth support videos. I graduated :)

I graduated but was sad not to see any talk of core io with helm dom :)

Been waiting for this and was so excited to see it in my sub box! I have a 56% win rate over 36 games on him - I haven't finished the video yet, but I'm gonna try and increase that after watching the rest! Excited to see what I was doing wrong in all my games lol

I graduated :) Thank you for taking the time to teach us. Looks like I have to start practicing Io!

I graduated :) I haven't played in a long time, so it's been sad to see Overcharge isn't a Toggle anymore! I've always been scared off playing Io more because of team communication, I'm just a filthy pub casual, but I'm gonna just bite the bullet and see if I can make it work! Thanks for the tips :)

maybe this is the 5th time im watching it since its uploaded very happy to see this and wp bro

annnd i graduated! Great video, made io feel more accessible, thanks for the knowledge

I graduated :) I played this bad boy back in 2014/15 idk even when it came out. I got the arcana way back while I was still playing dota at net cafe for 15 hours a day with my friends. After all these years I was thinking of starting to grind Io back, and this video comes out. Yep. I'm spamming the shit out of it now.

I didn’t even know about that double spirit dmg from agh’s, that’s super neat

Couple thousand IO games here - quick aggressive relocate tip. Don’t get into the habit of tethering right before you teleport into ganks. If possible, make sure your tether is off cooldown, so you can combo the aggressive teleport with a potential save on the port-back to the original cast. To rephrase, make sure you cast tether BEFORE casting relocate when using for ganks, your tether will be off cooldown right before your timer expires on the port back. Has resulted in a ton of extra saves for me, and a cherry on top of successful ganks to keep snowballing a winning game. This is of course the opposite for defensive relocates, usually want to hide and wait to tether as long as your allies health can afford it so you dont get stunned during channel.

I graduated from io school:) Please do another in depth hero guides for supports and carries ❤

i feel like the best hero to pair with io would be tiny because you can play volleyball with your enemy by using io as your ball

Awesome awesome awesome. This must have been so much work, thanks so much

Such a beautiful video with all the nuance on a hero, kudos

Just one more thing for the saving part of relocate of io If you have snapfire with aghanim in your team, snapfire can %100 save you from returning to the original point. Let's say u just used relocate in your base to save your teammate, then you as an io player immediately should go to the snapfire, and snapfire should use his "gobble up" spell on you when relocate comes to 2 seconds !

this guide really helped me going on io (never downloaded dota)

My favorite pair for Io is Legion Commander Whenever you see an isolated hero, you can TP and farm a cheap damage. With LC I usually rush Solar, so the duel farming is more reliable

IO can follow Barathrun if the link is made after Bara runned through. At almost limit distance link to Bara, and you will be projected until bara stops.

No way! I legit Relowed to the subscribe button. GGWP! 😂

Been waiting for this! (I graduated!)

I graduated :D Thx for the guide I just started maining io And i appreciated the explanation and tips

I graduated :) Thanks for the videos.

I graduated. Subscribed.

I graduated :) This was really helpfull!

I save it for this weekend! 52 mins:)

I opened the video just to discover for what this guide is

I graduated :) Thanks for your work

Great video, Earth spirit next please

the Relocate to Sub button got me

i graduate:) And some ideas from my 4k turbo There is some interesting stuff for lining/early games, Like Blight Stone Raindrops And Ring of Basilius Also You can sometimes buy some offensive items in early/mid game Like Fast Desolator(for very easy games) Rod of Atos Diffusal Blade Nullifiere (after buying 1 or 2 support items) And Personally my favourite (my friend immortal always want me to buy it) Eul's Sceptre Very strong item Aditional 2.25 second of living and healing Counter of some heroes (like Axe or Slardar) Mana regeneration And opportunity cancel enemy TP Thx for amazing and interesting video

I graduated :) Amazing guide!

Can't wait to watch

After many try I still think medigun might be the better facet for low mmr pub I remember the time when overcharge gave damage reduction and it feels better to make survival a priority when u build mek + locket the jump in overcharge heal make even more sense

I graduated ;DDD 6.5k io main was here

good video :D

I remeber when you could stun your enemy with tether...that was so op

very helpful guide. Never played IO maybe I start after this. I saw that u have a video about Oracle ult but i dont know if it is outdated. Can you also make a guide like this one for oracle. Thank u for this video. btw i graduated lol

9:20 I now realize wisp is broken. brb using all my double mmr tokens

I haven't graduated in school. FeelsBadMan Butt I graduated Io. (at least on this vid) KEKW time to go immortalwank!

lu memang power bro.

jesus this is big

honestly, i thought people only play IO when theyre eating and playing with one hand at the same time

How does the interaction between tethered IO and partners who can heal IO (eg. Necro and WD) work?

I graduated, slept through half the classes tho

"I graduated :)"

Do you think this hero is almost unviable in solo pubs (except pro level maybe)?

18:38 I healed zuh man who vill kill you! -Io probrally

I graduated :), I still live a little bit in the past though. But how come no more early bottle? I still find the regen is good.

holy fuck, that's huge

FINALLY !!!!

I graduated. I like to play io but I dont know what to do when I am playing from behind. I usually try to speed carry's farm as best as I can. Can you tell me anything else I can do when playing from behind or I cant make plays with my team cause we dont have stuns or its hard to initiate?

I paused right after the intro to say cringe, not clever haha. But stoked to finally have the vid drop

I graduated :) nice video

Clever!

I graduated but im gonna be real with you adrian, im probably still never gonna play io lol

I graduated! :) also, is io a viable pos4?

graduated!!

Co ordinate your Mek timing with your level 4 tether timing

I graduated, and I don't even play dota2. Used to play dota 1.

I tried maining this guy during my early dota 2 days.. but failing over and over again with relocate ability and being flamed for it discouraged me. Up until now i play io with little to no relocate plays.

I graduated :)

i learned something in this video, i need sane teammate I Graduated :)

I gradueted :)

Should you play io in lower lobby?

I graduated!

Estou graduado! :)

How many times do you need to relocate your carry to the enemy fountain to get reported? Io school alumnus over here

Thank you for efforts. But.. as a carry player only watced 12 mins. Couldnt handle more =) Im sure it is really useful for sups. Like.

im trying io after graduated, got lich on enemy team. he wait me to tether before ult, so i ended up die with my carry. because i bring lich ult to my carry, lol.

“Yo can you play storm spirit?”

I graduated :)!

damn i graduated :)

I graduated in IO masterclasse (⁠⊃⁠｡⁠•́⁠‿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)⁠⊃

I gaduated :)

I graduate :) Ty

I graduate ❤🎉

I graduated :) wanna start some Io game!

Probably because i'm low mmr but io sniper always feel like an ez win in the world this bracket

I graduated. :)

I Graduated :)

I graduated :)))

I graduated after 52 minutes 😅

Idk i can't win on this hero. For 200 matches i have 44% wr. I can't understand how i am supposed to farm on this hero. It seems like too weak. If you max W, you haven't got any sustain for lvl 9 , and that's a ruin. Enemies just stomp you. And if you max your Q/E , enemies stomps you too, cause you cant farm easily. That's not all. Hero is a cause to buy mech or holy locket, when other supports wont do this and buy more correctice survivability. I'm really upset
