Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon wins the Abaddon vs Slardar matchup: Abaddon beats Slardar in 52.35% of 4,204 ranked matches.
Slardar's goal of singling out and bursting a target with Corrosive Haze runs into a wall against Abaddon. A well-timed Aphotic Shield can dispel the stun from Slithereen Crush, letting an ally escape. If Slardar does manage to focus Abaddon himself, Borrowed Time will almost always activate, turning a massive amount of physical damage into healing and wasting the initiation. Slardar simply lacks the tools to reliably kill Abaddon before his ultimate triggers.
This forces the fight into a game of cat and mouse. Slardar will often learn to ignore Abaddon, instead blinking onto a different hero to try and secure a quick kill. The matchup then depends on Abaddon's positioning and reaction time. Can he get his shield and coils onto the focused ally before they die? It's a standoff where neither hero truly counters the other. Slardar dictates the initial target, but Abaddon dictates whether that attempt succeeds or fails.
