How Abaddon and Mars perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Mars win 48.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,785 matches.
Trapping heroes inside Arena of Blood calls for immediate, high-impact damage to confirm kills, which isn't what Abaddon brings to the table. While Aphotic Shield is useful for letting Mars initiate safely, it doesn't contribute any real burst. Abaddon's value comes from extending fights with heals and defensive saves, but Mars wants to end them quickly inside his ultimate. This can create a tempo clash where enemies survive the Arena's duration because the necessary follow-up damage isn't there. The pair's game plans don't perfectly align, with one focused on execution and the other on attrition, leading to some awkward teamfights that don't close out.
