How Abaddon and Queen of Pain perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Queen of Pain win 50.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,360 matches.
Trying to punish a blinking Queen of Pain becomes a real headache when Abaddon is on her team. The moment she gets caught by a stun or silence after jumping in, an Aphotic Shield can instantly dispel it and let her escape or continue fighting. This defensive backup from Abaddon allows Queen of Pain to take more risks with her positioning, knowing that a save is usually available. If things get really bad, Borrowed Time can completely negate the enemy's attempt to burst her down, turning their gank attempt into wasted spells.
The partnership is less about setting up kills and more about damage control. Abaddon doesn't add much to Queen of Pain's initial magical burst, so they don't have a specific kill combo together. He follows up after she goes in. This means a fight's success often hinges on whether QoP's initial damage is enough on its own. If the target survives, Abaddon is great at keeping her alive to fight on, but the initial advantage isn't always secured. The lane ends up feeling like two good heroes playing their own game, rather than a duo with a single, unified plan.
