Abrams Counters
Who counters Abrams in Deadlock? Heroes Abrams is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Squishy skill-shot heroes hate closing distance against Abrams. Sinclair, Mina, and Venator all want space and clean angles, and Abrams removes both by walking through their poke, sustaining with his lifesteal, and grabbing them out of position. Once he's on top of them, their fragile bodies fold. The problem comes against heroes who kite and burst him faster than he heals. Seven, Victor, and Graves can chunk his health bar or disengage before his charge ever connects, so his sustain never gets rolling. Draft tip: pick Abrams into fragile backline lineups, avoid him when the enemy has strong burst and mobility.
Abrams wins 50.61% of matches overall (#16 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its most favorable matchup is Mirage at 56.17%; Seven is the toughest counter, holding Abrams to 44.58%.
