    Ok aside from the high wr in high levels, the hero is fun to watch! And to play at that, granted I’m horrible at him but he’s quite satisfying when you get a kill with balls or your right clicks or get a clutch save. I hope I get better cause he’s fun. Can anyone teach me how to play him? I know wisp lovers really love wisp and I’m not claiming to be good at him but I just want to learn thanks.

      Wisp is a real issue if not handled properly.

          Wisp requires a high level of coordination with your teammates to play well, something that isn't easy to come by in pub games. If you do want to play him, make sure you try your best to communicate with your team and keep up that PMA!

                Watch some pro who play IO as inspiration and don't be afraid to practice on normal match even though people usually automatically trash-talk to IO picker.

                  ^I know you’re a wisp player and I do watch players play Io and every play seems satisfying. Idc ussually and I ussually don’t get flamed with my wisp because I can make it look like I know what I’m doing sorta lmao

                    Yeah Kejora this creep is a Ghost,btw he have a lowest BAT in game,if someone have a no clue - you build hotd get lvl 20 and tether this greep,depends what other items you have,but you can carry the game.

                    To learn io just watch the best ones and play and play,you have to put into it hundreds of games,you're feel it or not (personality post)
                    Gonna say now is the best time to learn this cute thing but not for the long my boy,io is going to be nerfed just after the tournament,if not i will be 5k soon krappa2k18

                      Also about the hotd build. My current build is soul ring, urn, drums veil(if I’m gonna get spirit damage) vessel. I’m thinking of replacing the drums with a domi cause I’ve tried domi rushes before and it worked ok I guess but drums just feel a lot better I think. I like the veil and spirit damage alot and I feel like it surprises enemies the damage you can dish out.

                      low prio master

                        Your build is 100% right,Veil is amazing item for wisp.

                          remove this hero ffrom the game ty

                            I just wonder if you prefer to play IO as full support, semi-carry or 100% carry? Also, using old meta or new meta?

                            HOTD and soul ring build is good build unless you can't control multiple-units or you/your team don't need lots of mana.
                            Drum works better than HOTD if you can't control multiple-units just like me and i think it's better to let/ask your teammate build veil if they pick Nuker such as Zeus.

                            Satanic is must buy if you're going semi-carry/100% carry, the game might be long and even better if your carry rely on attack-speed.

                              Potato i find him to be super fun, more than any other hero atm except maybe pango. And I can pick him anytime and my teammates won’t be fighting for a lane. Ranked roles os so good cause I have a guaranteed (mostly) other support in my team. In my bracket I just pick him and find a teammate to stick to. If I get pos 4 or 5 is irrelevant because I buy enough wards if needed and build up to my items. I don’t think it matters who is pos 5 because noone knows what that means anyway. I think of him as a support that ends up “carrying”

                              Also new meta fuck boots

                              If my team is good I go drums if not helm

                                Slowly getting better I hope:) I’m quite happy with this match even enemies commended me.

                                  Lvl 20 talent, most broken shit ever, EE Morph and DJ Wisp took down both tier 4s and ancient through backdoor protection. Put a Deso on wisp, have a fast attacking core like WR or Alch, enjoy free MMR.
                                  But you need a teammate to do it. And i'd rather NOT rely on Valve's 50/50 chance of blessing me with a competent teammate in solo ranked or not

                                    Just recognise the one or two people you can play with at any game and play with them I guess. I get my IO wins when I get to do some damage like my last game. I think I’m 2 for 2 with that build. Wisp isn’t as dependent on team coordination as he’s made out to be, or people underestimate veil, urn and spirits too much

                                    Turks<Dogshit

                                      Once upon a time it took some skill to play wisp ,now u just tether and follow ... its ridiculus

                                        IO nerfed again, the 3 talents that made IO amazing is reduced. I guess IO winrate will fall again.
