The only thing I would change about Io right know is to make her ultimate's hitbox with environment smaller, because it's the size of a frickin barn.

I still think Io is a solid S Tier. Wasn't she the meta pick before Grover and Furia got overbuffed? It's why they initially nerfed her healing by 10% in the first place. Her healing is very reliable as long as you manage the moonlight bar properly. Now, she's stronger than ever while Furia and Grover got (mostly) reverted to their initial numbers.

Wasn’t she meta before Betty came out? I would put her in A tier now mostly because Luna gets obliterated by the current amount of AoE damage in the game, and she is also still mostly single target with no burst or HoT so again she suffers the most from latest releases like Nyx’ aura, Omen’s and Lillith’s puddles and Betty’s assblast

@@dungeaterfancam Hmm good point actually. Although I do think Betty is the only significant threat of those you've mentioned. Luna has high enough HP to survive those DOTs and she can just regen the hp back or healed back by Io. Meanwhile, Luna makes Betty burst stronger cuz of the cluster bomb. Still, it's not like Betty gets chosen every match anyway and she gets countered by some popular flanks. So I still think Io is S tier (maybe S- or A+).

In my last comp support game I was Io and they had Lilith, we both healed 250k in 20 min game but the DR was so clutch to save my teammates, we just outright won on that one advantage. I could keep my dps alive. Io is just so good now. Also, Io does damage. I never have games where I have low damage.

Don't sleep on life link i main io and play her similar to you but i send luna in (only when its safe and there's not AoE damage on the enemy team) into the front lines and push up to keep my team alive and to keep me healed, from what i can tell so far into the season life link has it's place and can come in clutch if you give it a chance (note i play on console and not pc i know that both platforms are completely different games)

As an Io main I 100% agree. Lifelink keeps Luna alive and provides Io more survivability so you aren't needing to move Luna back and forth constantly. You don't need to waste moonlight on Luna, and you can run less into the self heal card. Guardian is really situational whereas Lifelink is good in any situation due to survivability. Guardian is only good in duels if you are healing someone during a duel. Once caut sets in, 15% Dr will help someone survive a little longer but if they are a tank getting targeted by 2-3 people they will melt. So most times Guardian won't really change the outcome, it just provides slight cushioning in specific encounters. Guardian could be really good with the speed card since the DR might help someone reposition just in time, but otherwise it's not a big difference. Then again Guardian could be good on some tanks like Inara and with max haven/rejuv they might take more use from it. But I still feel like Lifelink is superior and Lifelink can also enable Io to play more aggressively. Who knows maybe my opinion will change. I need to play with guardian more to really see if there is a difference. Edit: I used to be on console but have moved to PC

@@raurisaurus5057 Another Io main here. I love the new Lifelink for the sustain and how I can be more aggressive with luna on the point. Her stuns can be very useful and especially in late game when the heals are so low. The point about now having to waste moonlight on Luna is also great. Leaves more room to heal your teammates.

They should at the very least extend the invincibility on her ult to until she lands on the ground and is able to act, instead of making her a free kill for snipers/bursts. Why even give it s otherwise? Just some elementary QoL for one of the worst ults in the game.

I have a small question, does Haven reduce the Blood cost from Lillith? Some random Master told me that i should buy it with her but i don't know if that is even useful. Nonetheless IO is still one of my most favorite Champs, i barely play her but her design and Healing are soooo good. Io is literally the best girl🥰

Io ult should get 2 shots instead of one
@raurisaurus5057
@raurisaurus5057 8 ай бұрын
This would be broken. Io's ult is already really strong when used correctly. Her ult is an execution/space creation/positioning tool. You use it to kill a low health enemy, do an initial 800 damage to help in an encounter, reposition an enemy to a position better suited for you, or to create space on objectives/send enemies off the map. It's not countered by resil and only as few mobile champions can actually dodge it from close range. Having two shots would make objectives impossible to contest against an Io, and it would be a free 1600 damage against any champion. Meaning it takes 1-2 shots, and then both ult shots to instant kill any champ aside from tanks. That's not even counting Luna's personal damage/stun. The only buff to her ult would be a size increase or projectile speed, and even then it doesn't need a buff.

@raurisaurus5057 8 ай бұрын
@@abdulmajeedhallak1688 20% of the time? Her ult can be situational, but the amount of situations that it is useful in is quite a bit. Ever have a situation where you're flanked and you get the flank low? You can execute with the ult. Ever have a situation where you get flanked and need to create space? You can use the ult and deal extra damage with it to help in the engagement. Ever have a situation where you need to contest objective and need to push the opposing tank off? Use the ult. Ever have a situation where you need to reposition an enemy into a better position for your team? Use the ult. Ever need to be more aggressive and push up but the enemy team is pushing you back? Use the ult to push them back. Has Luna ever stunned someone long enough that you can take advantage of the ult? She probably has. Ever play on a map that has an open end that kills enemies via fall damage? You probably have. It just requires you to quickly maneuver to an enemy and snag em, which isn't hard unless the entire enemy team is grouped up (which you could also try to shoot them all off). The amount of situations the ult is useful in is many. The better argument would be: "Her ult is more map dependent" which is more-so true since creating space on smaller maps is difficult. If you reduce it's damage you reduce it's execution capability and make it harder to secure kills (because now you'll have to land two lower damage ults instead of one), and if you shorten the duration creating space will be more difficult on larger maps, and clutch throws off the map could also entirely be void depending on the duration. A better buff to it if any would be like I said, projectile size or velocity. But I also remembered that certain ults are immune to Io's ult, (I'm pretty sure ult makoa is immune). So an even better buff would be for Io's ult to counter ults such as: Makoa, Drogoz, Fernando, and channeled ults (Like Ash, Inara who have quick animations). Allowing it to counter what would be inevitable ults gives it lots of counterplay to those and makes it much more valuable than providing an extra charge but weakening it's utility. It's utility is the sole reason why it's good, it's just a high skill ability. If you wanted to give it an extra charge then you would want to convert it more into like a better variant of Ash's Kinetic blast. Instead of a projectile make it a Knock back wave that does an initial damage proc, then terrain damage, and knocks back enemies a decent amount. Because if you nerf it's damage and duration whilst it's still a projectile, people will only have a harder time getting use out of it than they already do since you need to land two of them and both wouldnt be as impactful. If you only nerfed the damage though (and kept it a projectile) and gave it two charges, then it could be better and it wouldn't be broken and would provide more space creating scenarios. But I would probably make the damage 450-500 per each one, that way it can keep its execution potential if you land both shots, but it'll provide more CC potential. Also I know it may sound hypocritical stating that two would be harder to land making the execution harder, but if it were the 800 then it'd be broken, and that's because it would be hard to land both but it is a high skill ult and the potential to do a burst of 1600 wouldn't be healthy if secured, and would be easy to do on tanks as well. I don't know if this needed to be said but I'm stating it just in case.

@@abdulmajeedhallak1688yes it would. Especially if u were to buy morale boost. It’s so powerful due to u being able to get it immediately (tier 1 250 credits 10% boost). Morale tier 2 is arguably a little too powerful so imagine io havin 2 charges nd tier 3 morale. Not to mention if someone on ur team or a friend gets someone like Octavia who can give her whole team 15% ult for whole match 💀. Io’s ult is extremely powerful when used at the right time. It’s all about timing nd patience with her ult u can’t just throw it out.
