    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

    Nice vid! I updated my Io build for League Of Legends players with some of the info from this video. I'm happy to see that the item and ability builds were very similar, i hadn't added glimmer cape before or seen the power of locket early. My favorite IO pairing is alchemist, since he's already hard to kill but now it's insane. Also, low base attack time pairs well with bonus attack speed.

    Your idea for the innate for IO is great! I would add/describe it: IO can tether to any watcher, instantly, neutralizing or capturing it. Doing so will apply a 5 second True Sight and/or (?) Flying Sight to the watchers radius.

I wanted to play IO for a long time but had very little knowledge on how to play the hero properly so I only used it while stacking with friends in very few occasions. Now I feel a lot more confident to try the hero out and add it to my roster. This is the first video I see of yours and I certainly want to stick around.

    Amazing video! 8:54 I feel like there is a little bit of confusion. I know that you know the correct mechanic as an IO player but you don't really mention it. The 275 Heal comes, because the AoE heal is applied to Gyro The 330 ist IO healing himself and transferring it via tether. Why do I mention this? IO can't be under negative buffs that reduce health amplification. It can turn out that Meka heals more by itself than via tether if you are focused with Skadi and vessel.

    Very cool! My tip is to wait some time before tethering when you relocate if you possible. You can sometimes tether at the very last moment and make it appear like the tether target just disappeared and the enemies will have a more difficult time finding you compared to obviously tethering in and then winding up the relocate. Also Kritzkrieg and Medigun are TF2 references- #fixTF2. Great guide.

    I think you forgot the Disruptor and kunkaa as io counters. Disruptor can glimpse either io or the relo-ed target out, making it a 4v5. Alternatively he can set up static storm prematurely before relo is completed- making u relo into dis ult. Also honorable mention to kunkaa as u just cant play around the X. And euls on io is very wack.
