How Abaddon and Death Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Death Prophet win 50.37% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,156 matches.
Taking objectives with Exorcism often requires the enemy team to be pinned down. While Abaddon is great at keeping Death Prophet alive as she runs forward, his kit doesn't solve her core problem of enemies simply walking away. Aphotic Shield provides a valuable dispel and lets her shrug off initial stuns, but this pairing lacks a reliable way to initiate or lock down targets. Death Prophet wants to stay on top of heroes to drain them with Spirit Siphon, but Abaddon offers little help to make that happen from a distance. The result is two durable heroes who can struggle to force the fight, allowing opponents to disengage and wait out the long cooldowns.
