Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition wins the Abaddon vs Ancient Apparition matchup: Ancient Apparition beats Abaddon in 52.92% of 514 ranked matches.
Feeling your ultimate get shut down as Abaddon is a real problem. The whole point of Borrowed Time is to absorb a ton of damage and then heal it all back, turning the fight. Ancient Apparition's Ice Blast completely prevents that healing, meaning you can be bursted down even while your ult is active. This forces you to rely entirely on Aphotic Shield for survival and saves, which is still a strong tool for dispelling stuns or protecting a key ally. However, losing that massive self-heal from your ultimate seriously undermines Abaddon's ability to be a durable front-line presence, making teamfights much more dangerous than they should be.
