How Abaddon and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Primal Beast win 48.74% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,229 matches.
Running into the enemy team with Primal Beast often means getting focused down. Abaddon offers a way to manage that risk. An Aphotic Shield on Primal Beast can absorb a lot of the initial burst while he's using Pulverize, and more importantly, it can instantly dispel a stun that interrupts his momentum. If he gets caught out after an initiation, the healing from Borrowed Time can keep him alive long enough to get his spells off again. The main issue is that Abaddon is mostly cleaning up messes after the fact; he doesn't offer much to help Primal Beast start a better fight. Since both heroes want to be in the middle of the action, they can struggle together against mobile enemies.
