Abaddon Counters (7.41e)

Abaddon is a durable support/core whose Aphotic Shield blocks and dispels, Mist Coil heals or harms, and Borrowed Time turns lethal damage into healing. He grinds down immobile heroes who can't burst through his sustain: Timbersaw, Tinker and Mars lose the war of attrition. Abaddon is countered by heroes that out-trade his healing or punish his melee range: Dawnbreaker, Dark Seer and Enchantress out-sustain or out-tempo him, while Meepo overwhelms. Draft tip: Abaddon is a fantastic save/tank into burst-heavy drafts; he's weaker into sustain-cancelling and high-tempo summon line-ups.

In Dota 2 7.41e, the heroes that counter Abaddon hardest are Winter Wyvern, Keeper of the Light and Wraith King — Abaddon wins only 42.4%, 42.6% and 43.9% of ranked matches against them.
