+1 Io mid carry is novel exciting and fun to watch. There are certainly videos by high profile players such as Miracle, Arteezy, Wagamama for carry io in pubs. Add your name to that list!
That's ok. I strongly disagree with your disagreement.
AS is boosted by +70 from Overcharge, and +70 from his items. I have never heard of Desolator being only viable on high attack speed heroes - I often buy Desolator to strip armor from my opponents so my teammates can output higher damage, or to strip armor from towers to increase our ability to push, especially when you're ratting towers with Relocate.
Feel free to watch the videos of me getting double digit kills and very few deaths if you'd like further reinforcement of how viable this build is.
Io can be easily destroyed by any pure damage, armor reduction and strong nukes he cannot handle those like Anti-Mage, Invoker and Legion Commander. what you expect? you want me to buy desolator, daedalus and diffusal blade and get rekt because I have no armor? get out of here.
No armor from the +6 Armor Lv 10 talent? No armor from the Armlet of Mordiggian stats?
If you suck with Io and can't get this build to work for you, that's fine, but if you think at it's CORE, at it's functional basis, that his build is flawed, you need to actually defend that argument with more than just the first thing that popped into your brain.
Look man, if you have no idea what you're talking about, why comment at all?
oy,how to say it....you said in my io guide that i choose my talents to fit my items, and you were right.
While Supports (Enchantress or Oracle comes to mind) can be amzing carries, i just cant see Wisp in that role. Not natural.
I don't doubt that it works for you, you know him inside out. But you tailor him into this role.
But just think someone picks Io and wants to carry and the team looses...4 times reported...io tends to get blamed anyway if his team looses, but thats a lot of hate coming there.
Counter Lion could wreck you easy imho.
Its an interesting read, Diffusal Blade is interesting.
If someone would like to play Io as a solo mid carry, this is the best way they can accomplish that role.
I don't care if you think it's "not natural" for Io to carry.
I don't care if the player fails and gets reported.
I don't care about your personal opinion concerning the usefulness of this guide.
I don't write these guides for your opinions. This **** works. Plain and simple.

but desolator and mkb doesn't work on Io he's AS is too slow.
