Abaddon is a durable support/core whose Aphotic Shield blocks and dispels, Mist Coil heals or harms, and Borrowed Time turns lethal damage into healing. He grinds down immobile heroes who can't burst through his sustain: Timbersaw, Tinker and Mars lose the war of attrition. Abaddon is countered by heroes that out-trade his healing or punish his melee range: Dawnbreaker out-trades him, Ancient Apparition's Ice Blast shuts his healing off outright, Outworld Destroyer burns the mana his kit runs on, and Meepo overwhelms. Draft tip: Abaddon is a fantastic save/tank into burst-heavy drafts; he's weaker into heal-cutting (Ice Blast) and mana-burn line-ups.

Abaddon's Aphotic Shield is a premier save-and-dispel — he keeps a diving carry alive and cleanses their debuffs. He pairs best with dive initiators and hard-carries: Axe is a classic combo (Shield him through a Blink-Call), while Spectre and Wraith King appreciate the shield + heal that lets them dive fearlessly. Give Abaddon an aggressive core to babysit and his Borrowed Time + Shield make them nearly impossible to kill in a fight.
