Dealing with a tank named Abaddon (:@)

Posted on Sun Aug 02, 2009 1:08 am

So i was playing with my friends a -cm 5vs5 mode against some "pros"

My team: -Bristleback
-Akasha (me)
-Sniper
-Dazzle
-Tidehunter
Opposing team: -Neru Assasin
-Abaddon (GRRRRRR)
-Traxxex
-Jakiro
-Lion

they managed to destroy our first and second towers very quickly, but they were not overfarmed. both teams had the same money on items almost. when pushing the third tower mid abaddon rushed first alone (magic stick, meka, phase, bracers) and we had to focus him, but we didn't kill him even all 5 attacking him. he was a hell of a tank. when we had used all of our spells on him, the other 4 came and killed us U_U. what can we do in such circunstances? abaddon regenerated life with ulti and blocked damage with shield :S
ty in advance:P

Just don't attack him when you see his ult go up.

Just dont attack him when borrowed time is on, abaddon can only attack 1 hero, just ignore/disable him.

He is nothing. Take out their dps heroes and nukers first.
And of course, when borrowed time is on you don't attack him.
Culling blade goes through borrowed time btw, so axe > loa

Sniper should have been substituted with either Axe or Lina. Any 1 of them can take down Abbadon before borrowed time kicks in. I feel that unless this was a total pub game, Sniper was a bad pick. Scourge had very good picks. They outmatched you in the ganking segment.

Another way to counter Abbadon is to simply chase him as he runs away with Borrowed Time. Heroes like Weaver can do this pretty easily. Kill him once BT is down.

In Abaddon's defence, maxing frostmourne helps prevent chases from normal heroes as just a single hit will cause a near 55% relative increase in MS for 2 seconds and he can also deny himself by casting Death coil on a friendly creep coming near him.. Also only noobs use Borrowed Time to self-activate when under 400 HP, instead use it well before that: Look out for the spell animations and activate then and there!

Why is this in the Welcome booth anyway?

Assassinate breaks Borrowed time if he's at 401+ HP. Just saying, cuz I saw you had sniper up there.

Don't Skill him at the same time. Waste of disables, waste of nukes, everything.

And you should have got a Lina. They have no tank (Well, lina is an anti-abba) so they have no "Perfect" counter hero for Lina. Just gank nerub like hell, and then when he's demoralized then FF the others.
