Io vs Queen of Pain: game-time comparison
These positions don't share a lane; compare teamfight interaction instead. Usual positions are assumed from recent games — change them to match your game.
Role impact
Separate lanes — this is a rotation & teamfight matchup.
Neither hero's lane record establishes a direct laning advantage over the other. Whole-match win rates and economy stay unchanged: those samples are not position-filtered.

Public head-to-head at 20:00+: No public sample available. Sampled from the latest 20,000 recorded public matches, filtered to this patch.
Sources & sample limits
OpenDota parsed pro telemetry; missing observations stay blank.
STRATZ net-worth histories use up to 12 recent games per hero, with their own sample count. Unavailable histories stay blank; earned gold is separate.
Items use recorded purchase times plus final inventories; earlier sold items and exact six-slot histories are not reconstructed.
Counter-item windows are mechanical guidance, not measured item-driven win-rate changes.
Public results use dated OpenDota public matches; longer games are a different cohort.
Lane meeting & late-game evidence
Io position 5; Queen of Pain position 2.
Direct lane evidence is not applicable to these selected positions.
For late-game evidence, compare the 25–60 minute outcome cohorts and recorded economy above. These do not prove which hero outscales the other.
Mechanical counters describe specific spell interactions, not an answer to every ability. Proven effectiveness requires strong matchup evidence; neither guarantees a win.
