Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon wins the Abaddon vs Queen of Pain matchup: Abaddon beats Queen of Pain in 56.22% of 5,655 ranked matches.
Trying to land a kill on someone as Queen of Pain feels awful when an Abaddon is nearby. Her entire pattern relies on blinking in, landing a Shadow Strike to slow the target, and then bursting them with Scream of Pain and Sonic Wave. Abaddon's Aphotic Shield single-handedly dismantles this plan. The shield is a strong dispel, so it instantly removes the Shadow Strike, allowing her target to walk away. It also absorbs a huge chunk of her initial spell burst, often making the difference between a kill and a complete waste of her long cooldowns.
This dynamic forces Queen of Pain into bad situations all game. During the laning stage, Abaddon can keep his core safe from her constant pressure. In mid-game teamfights, she's faced with a terrible choice: either waste her Sonic Wave on a shielded target or try to burst Abaddon himself. Focusing Abaddon is usually a mistake, as he'll trigger Borrowed Time, heal through her damage, and turn the fight around. Queen of Pain is forced to play passively, waiting for the shield to be used before she can commit, which gives Abaddon's team all the control.
