    I'm so bad at this game tbh but I want to know how to play IO. I played him now but got wreck.

    Is there any tips how to be better at it? Is IO still good this patch?
    Thank youu

      - 2 urns/vessel in the same team dont get both charges on kills : https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/5222959850
      - Greaves recipe costs 1.6k gold which is not negligeable as a support
      - If you are tethered to an ally, you take his movement speed. Boots don't affect your mvt speed while tethered (500g brown boots or 1.4k g mana boots)
      - If ennemies see you, they might focus you first as you provide healing and can save allies

      From your 3 last io games:
      - Adapt your item build to the drafts. You often go for the same items urn + mek + mana boots whereas other items can have more impacts in given situations. They are good items on Io but you need to adapt sometimes.
      - adapt your skill build to the playstyle to adopt in this game (Maxing E or Maxing W)
      - Position so you dont get focused
      - Ask your core (pos1 or pos3) to give you 1 tango minute 0 and use it with an iron branch when needed as you improve his regen while you are tethered to him

        You're Io the Wisp, stop trying to play a harassing support role in lane. You're way too squishy to even think of trading.
        Fix your positioning, your tether range is long enough that you can reach your allies from quite a distance away, you're too close to them.
