How this matchup plays
Picking a defensive support into Chen often feels like you're plugging one leak while another springs open. Abaddon's kit is built to save a single core from a focused gank using Aphotic Shield, but that’s not how Chen’s army fights. The damage comes from many weaker units at once, making a single-target save feel less impactful. You can shield one hero, but the creeps will simply attack someone else. While Abaddon can still be a nuisance and his dispel is useful, his entire style is reactive. Chen's constant, widespread aggression can overwhelm that kind of defense, making it difficult for your team to find stable footing in fights.
