How Abaddon and Medusa perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Medusa win 46.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,876 matches.
Picking Abaddon to protect Medusa can feel a bit redundant. Medusa is already incredibly tough to kill thanks to Mana Shield, which absorbs most incoming damage. This means the biggest value from Abaddon's kit—saving a core from getting bursted down—is less critical. A clutch Aphotic Shield or a well-timed Borrowed Time on an ally often comes too late, after Medusa is already out of mana and effectively dead. While the dispel from the shield is always nice for getting stuns off, the core of Abaddon's hero-saving identity doesn't line up perfectly with how Medusa wants to play fights, which is by being an unkillable wall, not by surviving at low health.
