I tought it was link's fairy.

@Dmitry Solovyov: And the last thing. If you are playing this hero - you should have some plan in mind, to maximize his effectivness, especially if you will be counterpicked hard.
Just because you are bad with this hero or just hate him doesnt mean that hero is bad in general.

@Dmitry Solovyov: 5th - you forgot that Io is a support utility hero, so his JOB is to stay behind and support your teammates from a safe positions and dont charge in as a tanky initiator. Oh, and about spirits, that is one of the strongest nukes in the game on all lvls, even if its hard to land.

@Dmitry Solovyov: 3d - you can have mek, urn, bottle on any other hero, not on io, but use them on wisp and they will be as good as if wisp had them! 4th - 600, 800 gold is alot? really? you start game with more then 600 gold, so you can buy it right away! (If you pick Wisp for a reason ofc).

@Dmitry Solovyov: And it shows how bad you are at this game. 1st thing you should know - you have only 6 slots in your inventory, giving you extra items will make you even stronger.2d - you won't get that HUGE items at a 10-15 mins, not to mention that you could be forced to buy another ones first

@Bart Stabwound: Pretty sure this is a Dota comic since one of the Photo notes calls the thing Io and everyone else is talking about Dota in the comments.

I don't get it, why is Navi a robot?

You know what? You guys are right! We must tell the pros who have been picking/banning him so often that they need to stop!

Granted, he wasn't in the "meta" this International, so maybe they are learning!

Also lets not forget that if IO dies you lose all those free items he provided you with. Also you can get shakled to each other, lich ultied on both, etc. So just dont pick IO until valve will return stun to 1, slow to 2, +50% spdatk and decreased cost to 3 and no vision for enemies in 4.

you can just use urn on allies, and if you press ctrl you can use bottle
#themoreyouknow
All io spells can be replaced with items. Overcharge? Mjollnir +some armour/resistance. MS boost in tether? Yasha/manta or sange&yasha. Regen? Heart of tarasque. Ulti? Travels. Costy? Not as much as play 4vs5

[url=#user_comment_350717]@Censuur[/url]: But he's almost right! 600 gold for a bottle and 800 for a soul ring are just way too much. Same with 875 for an urn. Damn expensive items while I'm running around with 1 branch and no clue how to pull / stack and farm stacked camps =(

[url=#user_comment_350712]@Kinesis[/url]: it's this way of thinking that gets you stuck in trench tier Dota. You make it fairly obvious you do not understand how the hero/game works and yet you try to comment on it, good job bro...

[url=#user_comment_350712]@Kinesis[/url]: Actually, he is arguably one of the strongest support probably the most nerfed characted of history. He has many downsides because his abilities are strong and scale really hard if you build him accordingly. His ult indeed warns people, but they rarely can do anything about it.

IO just lacks in every aspect. His healing is not that good until you get the really expensive items (good luck with that), His overcharge drains his own Hp, he has no real offensive abilities to speak of (spirits are lame) and his teleport ability has a "your gona get ganked" return timer on it.

[url=#user_comment_350703]@Waka[/url]: Actually, I beleive Enigma has custom Eidilons. Good comic, I noticed the similarities to medic the first time I played Io.

Also relevant is that Medic has had experience with characters unable to speak clear understandable English.

he's not the only though, there's still troll, zeus, enigma, AA, treant, etc. that dont have their own items yet.

[url=#user_comment_350695]@Jasott[/url]: Techies is not the only, actually. Before him also Tresdin and Terrorblade received an Immortal Set the same day they got released. But also, for example, Sven and Juggernaut received a (just rare) set at their debut. Don't hate Techies without reasons. pls.

Io's just pissed that Techies, the newest character gets items right off the bat, and Io is STILL waiting... Not that hard Valve, just give empty items with prismatic gems to animated the skills.

Supporting feels
:')

This a dota thing? I have a feeling it's a dota thing.

[url=#user_comment_350685]@Snadzies[/url]: Both are healer characters, and io is probably complaining about bad healing targets or such.

Over my head.
