    as a new dota player i wanna say that carry io is one of the most fascinating anomalies in all of competitive esports. coming from fighting games we say "save that shit for nationals" when talking about hidden op tech, and people in the past have hidden various pieces of tech to save for big stages, but never on the scale of the international and rarely something as strong as that. something like that is special and i doubt we will ever see something that strong come out of no where and dominate like that ever again... god speed team OG and Ana

    Regarding IO's W being a single spell instead of having in and out separately. It was due to a bug regarding Rubick stealing Spirits then losing spell steal cause the three spells took over the slots. Valve probably did a Valve move and instead of fixing it, they reworked IO's Spirits

      I seem to remember this being the time when a ton of spells were added to ability draft, spells that before had used up more than 1 spell slot, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was part of their thinking, to collapse more spells into one ability, partly due to rubick, and also AD, which actually got some love at the time.

    As a nonplaying DotA content consumer, every video I've ever watched about TI 9's final game has emphasized Gyro's Diffusal Blade as the difference maker. I have NEVER heard the story of Carry Io taking that tournament. I love this.

    • @Mrducky78
      @Mrducky78 Год назад +19

      In a way, it made sense, by that point, Ana's Io was already a known factor. The diffusal gyro on the other hand was novel and innovative while Ana had already had an entire International schooling every team on carry Io. The pick bans against OG that TI was absurdly skewed because no one knew how to play against the carry Io and the ones that thought they knew would just get stomped by it. The fanatic vs OG game was probably the best show case of OG being able to pull off carry Io and win in a game I dont think any other team could pull the win out of requiring multiple weird plays and ways of playing to get the win. I recommend watching that as probably the hardest OG were pressed with carry Io.

    Not only Ana's Io was amazing, extremely well played and perfectly timed, Topson also had an insane game and deserves mention. He went for Diffusal Blade with Gyro, a completely out of the meta item for Gyro, only to destroy Miracle's Bristleback mana pool and it paid off so well. You can hear during the fight as the casters mention how Miracle has no mana as soon as the fight starts. Thanks to this, Miracle can't do anything basically and together with Ana's insane dmg they win the fight, the game and the 2nd International. I saw the game and i remember going nuts. What a game!

    It is a bit sad to end on a low for Io, it also feels unnecessary. If this video shows anything, it shows Io is extensively balanced and rebalanced. Io has always been hard to balance because it is so versatile, you take away one ability that makes Io powerful and pros find a new way to use a different ability.
    I hope that this weaker version of Io can allow the balancing team to buff Io, to fit all of the different roles it has had over the years, without making it overpowered or underpowered in any role.

      Heart also now does less damage than before and Heart is one of the only stat items IO builds.

    I might have missed it, but did you go over the Io spirit bomb? I stopped playing for a while so I'm not sure if it was removed, but it used to be that refreshing spirits would detonate the old ones immediately. That was another reason to run Io with Tiny, since if you time it so that Io has max spirits and the ability is off CD, you can toss Io and do a huge amount of aoe damage. You could get that online in lane pretty early and it was a menace.

    It’s sad to see the slow nerfs to io over the years. As an io main, the excitement of a new patch was always offset by the fear of the nerf hammer again and again. 7.33’s sheer size, banner creep HP regen and lotuses do somewhat offset the number changes in isolation, and improvements to stacking for the support now provide io with more possibilities than before. Items like drums and solar crest offer alternative builds with the universal change not to mention early utility like pavise. Neutral item changes also benefited io as a 5 so things aren’t quite as dire as the situation might appear.

    I haven't played Dota 2 in many years, but I was still playing around the start of Io's rise to prominence. I was only a casual player, so I always found the discrepancy between it's competitive and public results to be amusing - it was showing incredible results in The International, but Io in a pub match almost felt like a preemptive forfeit. The most hilarious thing about this is how Ana turned Io into what Anti Mage was in the memes - a character who'd vanish for the entire match leaving the rest of the team to fend for itself, show up after it finished farming, and wipe out teams without breaking a sweat.

    Its such a tragedy both instances of "orbiting dps" in both LoL and Dota 2 were reworked out of the games. I adored Asol's old playstyle, so i was really excited to see that maybe there would be something similar in dota. One day maybe 😅

      Cause they were just bringing dota 1 heroes to dota 2 with the same kit and because of Dota 1 just been a warcraft 3 gamemode and not having competitive scene they probably didn't expected it to be broken, also you have to take into account that mobas were growing (lol was 3 years old)

    Io giving temporary scepter on command sounds like such a funny combo with meepo.

    Just found this gem of a creator, well edited videos, plenty of information, well put together at that, as well as having the videos be as long as they are and still keep me entertained, I think that is a great accomplishment. If I could make a request it'd be for Broodmother, she was one of, if not my most favorite heroes in dota. I never kept track of the competitive scene but I'd love to know how well, or terribly, they worked out in that space.

    I look forward for the Enigma, Magnus and Earthshaker videos as these are great wombo combos characters. I also like how your videos create a space for remembrance of epic moments of Dota in the comments.
    Thanks for this high quality material! ^^

    It's interesting to hear you say that the TP trick was considered inconsistent. I wanted to give some outside perspective from the fighting game community, so if you care to read, you might find it interesting.
    1/30th of a second timings is what we call a 2 frame link in fighting games, because fighting game logic almost always runs at 60 fps, and link meaning the button links together a combo. 2 frame links are considered consistent, of course with the knowledge of it being max 10 or 20 frames since your last button press. That proximity makes it easy to build up a rhythm memory for it and land those regularly. Players at my level will still go for them in matches even if we drop them, but the pros almost never do. 1 frame links, or 1/60th of a second tick timings, exist in fighting games too, especially older ones, and were still considered doable by more than I can even believe. These days, fighting games have buffers letting you input your next move into the last 1 or 2 frames of the move before it, meaning some games have a minimum or 2 or 3 frame links for the majority of combos, but if we were to ever go back to the days of 2 or 1 frame links, we'd probably still go for them.
    Of course, the timing is harder here, because the reference point for your internal rhythm for the TP combo was 12 or 13 seconds before hand. I think that adds enough difficulty that even with the 1/30 timing, I would like a metronome to practice that to, and I might even macro something to start a 15 second metronome when I start the ult. I'm not sure how large of a portion of the DOTA playerbase are musicians, but there are definitely musicians who have trained themselves to have an internal metronome that can stay on time consistently for a solid minute because it's so important to timing when you play notes in music. I believe it was a trainable skill, and that if you could have guaranteed you were playing IO, you could have justified spending the time to practice and train up.
    All that being said, still a hard trick to pull off lol

    yeah Ana's IO was crazy, there's also that one player that had the name of Carry Wisp, and I would watch their games occasionally, it was just so satisfying, that was before the nerf to the Spirits even, Carry IO was always a thing, until they nerfed the spirits, it became a bit harder to pull off, IOs jungle was pretty crazy.
