How Abaddon and Drow Ranger perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Drow Ranger win 48.70% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 8,244 matches.
Picking a fragile carry like Drow Ranger means you're looking for a support who can keep her alive through the first few seconds of a fight. Abaddon helps with this by providing defensive layers that are particularly good at handling her main weaknesses. An Aphotic Shield can remove a stun or silence that would otherwise leave Drow helpless, giving her a window to kite with Frost Arrows. This forces the enemy to commit more resources to a gank, which can then be turned around by a well-timed Borrowed Time.
The goal is to create a safe pocket for Drow Ranger to deal her damage from, with Abaddon acting as bodyguard. This duo's effectiveness often hinges on the enemy's draft and their ability to execute. A team with multiple lockdowns or ways to burst a target can overwhelm Abaddon's saves, often by baiting the shield or simply killing him first. The pairing works, but it requires careful positioning from Drow and perfect timing from Abaddon, leaving room for the enemy to outplay the situation.
