How Abaddon and Night Stalker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Night Stalker win 57.84% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 306 matches.
Diving past a tower at night feels a lot safer with an Abaddon on your team. Night Stalker loves to run at heroes, but he can be kited or bursted down when he commits. Aphotic Shield gives him a crucial dispel to shrug off the first stun and absorb initial return damage, letting him stick to his target. If the fight turns, Borrowed Time redirects all that focus fire into healing, ensuring Night Stalker not only survives the gank but wins it. Abaddon removes most of the risk from Night Stalker’s aggressive dives, letting him play on the absolute edge and secure kills that would otherwise be suicides.
