How Abaddon and Io perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Io win 52.47% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,024 matches.
Relocating with Abaddon creates an aggressive tempo, forcing enemies to react or give up map space. Io's Tether gives Abaddon the speed to close gaps and the regeneration to stay in the fight while building up Curse of Avernus stacks. This combination is incredibly hard to kill between the constant healing, Aphotic Shield, and Borrowed Time if things go wrong. The weakness is converting that survivability into an actual advantage. Neither hero offers much lockdown or burst damage, so if a target can survive the initial assault or simply run away, the gank doesn't accomplish much. It creates space but doesn't always secure the kills needed to pull ahead.
