Props to Evil Mojo for Io.

Even without cards and talent choice, Seris can heal multiple allies at the same time (at a lower rate than the primary heal target of course). Also you can target an ally with Restore Soul and another ally behind a wall can be "chain" healed. This comes in handy when the ally needing heals isn't visible or in your range but is in range of a "chain" heal.

To heal multiples with IO, you have to use the Life Link talent combined with Luna and you still don't have all the benefits Seris has.

I'm not bashing IO at all. The weapon is much superior to the slow traveling orbs. There has to be trade offs.

I find her pretty weak, but the only thing that is actually pretty cool about her is the loadout card that reduces gravity by 90% when firing her bow. There is a clip of someone who managed to jump one Stone Keep from one end of the map to the other with that 90% less gravity. That is actually insane. Watch this video at 0:42

Io is just good. Hi-Rez actually nailed it this time. Io has no damage fall off means she can return fire to long rangers. She has good mobility. She has a good ulti, very deadly in some maps. And the Fox, the fraking fox is very useful. Io can heal herself with fox (life link and restored faith) and use it for cover. Also fox can stun and attack.(180-180-350 dmg) That is not all ! Fox can also capture objective and push the cart! (cart pushes fox, fox pushes cart if placed correctly) This is very important and usefull. Also one more thing if you put the fox in front of cart it will push the fox. She definetly doesnt require rework or whatever. Io is nice change after shitty OP braindead champions like moji, koga, dredge. Good job Hi-Rez. Dont listen the "heal bot" crew. For some reason they are ignoring all those features and undermining Io.

I would literally play any other support before playing Io. I gave her one full day of play and I've now moved on. She seems to basically be made to be a healbot (one of the least interesting play styles) but she's not even good at that. Y'all can keep Io.

[Grinsleeper]

it all comes down to preference.

[Valkure]

Sounds like you want to be able to heal and attack at the same time.

Like for every other support except Seris (and there's a reason why I hated playing Seris, before the last aggressive loadout). The best part of this game is the card system. I want serious aggressive options.
Rocklobsta explained everything I think, without me having to type from mobile, so, thanks.
But yes, I spend half of my time healing foxy and the other half healing comrades. Nest result: I don't play. And the 2 shoots I have time to throw are so low dmg to be useless.

If they don't want to rework her, they should increase their dps and heal per sec.

PS: I still can't get too how to aim the stun. Sometimes I have 3 people marked, sometimes no one, and foxy does whatever she wants. WTF

it all comes down to preference.

When Seris can do her job better on all aspects and Io has just one (worse than Seris) viable play style, there's no preference. It's called "bad design".

It's so sad. She can deal equal dmg as her mates while healing a lot too. Her positioning makes her complex, becasue she have to stand in the line of the enemies for multiply her damage. She is the only supporter who can escape perfectly. E.g. I didnt die here:

If you don't like her why did you write this?:

I personally don't think Seris needs change

:O

You can hide Luna if you don't want to heal her all the time. Luna can absorb many dmg, so your style wasn't bad, just boring to do all the time.

It's called "bad design".

All of her talents requires totaly other usage of Luna, I think it's not bad design. I don't know which is the only viable style of Io according of you, I see all of her talents on the matches and all of them works well thanks for the mid PTS balance changes.

There might be a way to make her playstyle more active. I guess it would involve Life Link and the card allowing you to replenish moonlight by shooting at stuff.

About the stun, it will target who carry the mark if they come in range. You give the mark by shooting at someone with your bow. The thing is, Luna will only prime her attack if the enemy is within range, but once the attack is primed Luna will chase the enemy really far away if they're legging it. I've already seen Luna hitting Evie mid flight after Soar a few times. If the stun is on CD, no mark will be left on enemies. CD is 15s by the way.

[Grinsleeper]

Well then you prefer seris. Personally i think seris is boring, and io is not. And its not because she is new. And a champion being fun is the main thing to me, not win potential.

[Valkure]

Seris needs no change for she's balanced. This has nothing to do with the fact that playing healing bot is fucking boring. ;-)

PS: Kitcsa, for the n-th time. I ignore you, do your best for ignoring me, as I've already invited you to.
