How Abaddon and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Pugna win 51.32% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,824 matches.
Using Decrepify on an ally Abaddon is trying to save is a tricky play. While it provides immunity to physical damage, the magic amplification can cause Aphotic Shield to break almost instantly from enemy spells, dealing its burst damage to a now more vulnerable target. When it works, the combination is strong; Pugna can safely Life Drain a shielded ally while they are immune to right-clicks. The problem is that both heroes are primarily defensive, and their abilities can actively clash. Abaddon can’t apply Curse of Avernus to an enemy that Pugna has Decrepified. This lack of offensive synergy and the potential for mistimed saves makes their performance together feel inconsistent.
