How Abaddon and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Wraith King win 50.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 588 matches.
Saving Wraith King with an Aphotic Shield is one of the strongest defensive plays in the game. The strong dispel removes any stuns or slows the enemy uses to try and kite him, letting him stay on his target and continue attacking. This interaction gets even stronger when ultimates are involved. Enemies have to chew through Wraith King's first life, then deal with Reincarnation. If Abaddon's Borrowed Time is active during that second life, all the damage intended to finish Wraith King ends up healing him instead, turning the fight completely.
This forces opponents into a difficult choice in fights. Focusing Wraith King means dealing with Abaddon's saves, which often buys enough time for him to win the fight himself. Trying to kill Abaddon first is also a mistake, as he becomes invulnerable and heals his team while Wraith King dismantles the backline. Both heroes want to stand their ground and fight, and together they create a durable frontline that is incredibly difficult to break before they've run you over.
