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

Thank you! Always appreciate your support! :]
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.

Ayy, awesome to see you here! :D Thanks for the nice words! And yeah I used to do Alch + Io with a friend way back in the day and it used to be really fun.
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.

At first i thought something like this, but ill have ti disappoint you and tell you that he meant that the tether to be already present in lvl 1 like mischief on mk or alch greed

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
Fantastic guide. Very detailed and thorough. Well done!
I gratuated, thanks for putting in the effort to make this guide, I have two friends that really love IO and in conversation with them I learned a lot of what was talked in this video, it's very insightful.
Such a beautiful video with all the nuance on a hero, kudos
I certainly graduated. Great video! 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.
what a nice guide a rare amount of quaility and wisdom... just thank you for being awsome adrian

Thank you!
I really appreciate it, helped me a lot I just wish you make more full hero guides Thanks
Can't wait to watch
Thanks! New subscriber here. I graduated IO. More of this ULTIMATE guides please. 😁
I graduated! Went from an abysmal 31% win rate last year, and now I'm at 44% winrate with IO on divine SEA pubs ever since watching your videos and streams. The guide is simple, easy to digest, and even the more experienced IO players will still learn a thing or two from your videos!
Worth the wait! thanks a lot, please more in depth support videos. I graduated :)
it's finally here!
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.
Nice guide ❤
I graduated :) An excellent tutorial from an obviously experienced player. Thank you!
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 :) thanks for an awesome and informative video! - a new subscriber
Been waiting for this! (I graduated!)
I graduated!! Thanks for this, i really love playing IO and this video improved my perception of playing the Wisp.
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

Nope. Hed be dead already if you do that
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.
Huge work done! Respect! I graduated :)
Nice video thx❤
I graduated. Amazing video, good job!
annnd i graduated! Great video, made io feel more accessible, thanks for the knowledge
Graduated!!! I love baiting heros and using last min healing mek combo especially against necro ulti or axe cull in the early game.

Nice name haha
Io and oracle are the true essence of a pos5 for me atleast. So underated heroes.
As a grandmaster IO with alooooot of games, even i learned a thing or two! Nice job buddy!
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

Yeeah that's a fun and good combo for sure.
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.
im so hyped

I didn’t even know about that double spirit dmg from agh’s, that’s super neat
i graduated :3 already a long time io player but i love seeing more information on my favorite heroes even if i already know most of it! definitely gonna spam io again for a little bit lol
well done thnonks
Finally Io gods Io build
I graduated! Also my starting items are almost always wand, tangos 2 observer and 1 sentry 1 observer for mid and possibly a sentry depending on the lane I play
Clever!
Great video, Earth spirit next please
The overcharge heal talent is barley noticeable but should always be picked up if your new to io because you’ll probably forget to use relocate
I graduated :) after more then 1200 io games i'm glad i didn't learned too much with this video, great content anyways
FINALLY !!!!
lu memang power bro.
Thank you! I graduated.
I graduated :) great video tks for all tips

I graduated :) Thanks for the videos.
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.
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 :)
I graduated. Subscribed.
good video :D
I save it for this weekend! 52 mins:)

I graduated :) amazing
ofc this come out the day after I spent all day doing the math for my IO item build

Finally! I graduated!
No way! I legit Relowed to the subscribe button. GGWP! 😂
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 graduated :) This was really helpfull!
Az a carry player that probably never play io,thank u for ur dedication
I graduated :) great video bro
i graduated! hope my io wr will be increased with this one)
i have more than 1500 game with this hero, the best thing with this hero is he's rarely get patched. but when they do, they just nerf him. best hero to play with friend! remember when no speed limit restriction ? io +spirit breaker combo.
the vid is fire. did you rush on the thumbnail?
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
thanks homie I graduated :)
Estou graduado! :)
Hey, completely out of topic but can you make videos of how does morphling facet "flow" really works ? i'm so confuse about it and i don't understand how it works except it makes the hero main attribute become strenght
The IO bible
I really like medusa with IO SHe happy when i increase her attack and movement speed and mana regen is really good with her innate
How does the interaction between tethered IO and partners who can heal IO (eg. Necro and WD) work?
the Relocate to Sub button got me

man if i gave a shit and looked at my studies like i watch dota guides i would be something right now
Graduated !
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.

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

I opened the video just to discover for what this guide is
I graduated :) nice video
24:00 thanks
I graduated :) you did not notice that io is the only hero that has no turn rate, so it does not have to turn to attack
