How Abaddon and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Ember Spirit win 50.87% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,173 matches.
Giving Ember Spirit a strong dispel looks like an automatic win, but it often ends up being good without being great. Abaddon’s Aphotic Shield is fantastic for removing a root or stun that catches Ember mid-combo, letting him finish a kill or remnant to safety. The problem is that Ember is already one of the most self-sufficient and slippery cores in the game. Between Flame Guard absorbing magic damage and Sleight of Fist dodging projectiles, he’s already difficult to lock down. Abaddon’s save is valuable, but it’s for a hero who needs it less than most, making the combination solid but rarely game-defining.
