How Abaddon and Batrider perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Batrider win 44.86% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 700 matches.
Keeping Batrider alive during a Flaming Lasso initiation is the main point of interaction here. An Aphotic Shield from Abaddon can be a big help, dispelling slows or roots that would stop Batrider from grabbing his target. It also soaks up some damage on the way in. The problem is what comes next. Once the target is pulled back, Abaddon doesn't offer the kind of burst damage or hard lockdown needed to guarantee a quick kill. He provides sustain, which is always useful, but he doesn't really amplify Batrider's core game plan. It makes for a reliable initiation, but not a particularly deadly one.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
