Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon wins the Abaddon vs Dark Seer matchup: Abaddon beats Dark Seer in 53.07% of 179 ranked matches.
Relying on Aphotic Shield to counter Dark Seer is often a mistake. Most of what makes him effective isn't a single debuff you can purge. Ion Shell applies constant, unavoidable damage in an area, which Abaddon can't prevent. While Abaddon wants to run at a target to apply Curse of Avernus, doing so against an Ion Shelled enemy is a losing trade. Dark Seer can also use Surge to kite away easily. In teamfights, Vacuum forces Abaddon's allies to stack up and take massive AoE damage. Even if Abaddon survives with Borrowed Time, he often ends up watching his team get wiped out by the sustained pressure.
