    Do you Max Tether and Overcharge, them your little sons?
    Because if you max these 2 healing in tf is a lot easier, but i always see people goin 1-2-1-2-3-ult.
    Do you buy passive regen, like tranquils, or its prefered to build arcanes+meka into greaves?
    Early game i had lots of faery fire, it healead a lot for my t8s
    ps:I sold a meka to buy hearth, i had 100-200 hp healing with overcharge on and hearth healing.

    dunce

      Before maxing tether, you might wanna check out how it scales.

        I build 2nd 1st and buy greaves fastest as I can

        Some turn I buy Solar Crest, Blade Mail

        Even I feel I fed with Io but its KDA better than Sand King

          inx4c, but that 16% move speed m8, plus the slow when they treying to kill you.
          But i see a 500 dmg spirits >move speed.

            Max tether last usually. Your spirit balls you want to max first typically. It all depends on the game. Like if I see a Phoenix/Enchant I put more on E so my carry can attack faster.

              I love to see io in normal skill,not just in vhs.....when you have a lane partner with kill potential you should be maxing spirits its quite nice nuke....but depends...every game is different, that heart is awesome but in like 90% as io support you not able to get it....my build usually bottle, urn, arcanes, mek, gg,

              >tfw no gamer girl peeing gf

                I didn't see the heart lmao!

                Usually you will not be able to farm that baby since the game will end before you can in higher tiers, HOWEVER, I do recommend Crimson Guard, and even Abyssal. Generally things with Health Regen, may be even eul's for mana regen so you can be a omni+kotl on steroids basically.

                Btw, I must ask, are you playing io more because you know he is going to win the arcana and you want to get it may be? lol
