How Abaddon and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Riki win 63.58% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 302 matches.
Trying to lock down a revealed Riki often fails with an Abaddon on the team. Enemies will pop Dust and throw their stuns, but casting Aphotic Shield on Riki provides an immediate strong dispel that frees him to escape or re-engage. Abaddon can keep applying shields and Mist Coils from a safe distance, turning Riki into an incredibly resilient diver who is difficult to finish off. While Abaddon cannot use his ultimate to save Riki directly, the constant threat of a clutch dispel makes it incredibly difficult to burst the carry down before he can use Tricks of the Trade.
