Ceb [7mad] io Hard Support - Dota 2 Patch 7.35 Pro Pub Pub Full Gameplay

[@parmenasparmenas001]

i dont understand why he built 2 bracers and 1 agi mask (forgot name) instead of building a core item like mekansm or something can somebody explain the reason?

[@JasonRennie]

He got them after 25 minutes, so (e.g.) the 2 braces provide nice value for a universal support who doesn't use many items incl. +36 damage and +5 health regen.

Why is there a guy thats in the top right? how can I be sure this is CEB!?!

[@herontorres30]

why did he rush locket? Isn't mekansm cheaper and has more impact (heal)?

[@samuelwtw1]

Holy locket amplifies healing which is long term healing, meka is short term healing

[@JasonRennie]

From the wiki: "Io's health regeneration, healing, lifesteal and spell lifesteal are transferred to the ally as healing." Locket boosts that by 30% and provides nice stats (e.g. +19 damage due to IO being universal). I find that one of the challenges of IO is staying alive. Locket gives you an instant 340 heal (which I think gives 442 heal to your tethered ally).

@@JasonRennie thank you, I love IO and kinda always rush mekansm but now locket makes more sense

[@rockyescape8989]

i just realised at 30 minutes he still had no boots whatsoever

[@I_play_io_cause_he_cute]

Io doesn’t need boots because he matches the movement speed of the tethered target. Therefore most Io players ignore boots until mid to late game, where they pick up drum boots or greaves

[@rockyescape8989]

thanks man that makes sense now after playing io a few times. takes a lot of skill to master this hero.@@I_play_io_cause_he_cute
