Fun, yet Boring, He is Abaddon from Dota 2

Scary Design of Abaddon. A hero from Dota 2

Wondering around in the world of Dota 2, I remember how this game can be so entertaining yet stressing. Well, I am actually tired of dying in Dota 2 as I am just one of the noobs. So, do you want to be the ultimate support hero who can also carry your team to victory? Do you enjoy annoying your enemies with your endless sustain and healing? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Abaddon is the hero for you! And in this post, I'll dive into it for you!

Abaddon is a versatile hero who can play as a position 3, 4, or even 5. He has a powerful kit that allows him to survive, protect, and dish out damage. His first skill, Mist Coil, is a single-target nuke that heals an ally or damages an enemy. It also costs some of his own health, but don't worry, he has plenty of ways to recover it. His second skill, Aphotic Shield, is a defensive buff that absorbs damage and removes debuffs from an ally. When the shield expires or is destroyed, it explodes and damages nearby enemies. His third skill, Curse of Avernus, is a passive that gives him bonus movement and attack speed when he attacks an enemy. It also applies a debuff to the enemy that slows them and makes them take more damage from Abaddon and his allies. His ultimate skill, Borrowed Time, is what makes him so hard to kill. When activated, it turns all incoming damage into healing for a short duration. It also has a passive component that automatically triggers when his health falls below a certain threshold.

But, before we move on, you must know what are some of other reasons that you must think and avoid before playing this hero.

Well, Abaddon is a tough hero to deal with, but he is not unbeatable. He has some weaknesses that you can exploit and some heroes that can counter him. And, here are some of those tips and tricks you must know that can be used against Abaddon:

• His Mist Coil has a long cooldown and costs him health. You can harass him in lane and force him to use it, then go for the kill when it's on cooldown. You can also use magic stick or wand to gain charges from his Mist Coil and use them to heal yourself or damage him.
• His Aphotic Shield has a limited amount of damage it can absorb. You can burst it down with high damage spells or attacks, then focus on the target. You can also use spells that pierce spell immunity, such as Doom, Duel, or Fiend's Grip, to disable him or his ally through the shield.
• His Curse of Avernus has a short duration and requires him to attack the same target. You can kite him or switch targets to avoid getting slowed and taking more damage. You can also use items that slow him down, such as Rod of Atos, Shiva's Guard, or Skadi, to prevent him from chasing you or your allies.
• His Borrowed Time has a long cooldown and a short duration. You can bait it out with fake attacks or spells, then disengage and wait for it to end, then re-engage and finish him off. You can also use spells that prevent healing, such as Ice Blast, Spirit Vessel, or Silver Edge, to negate his ultimate and make him vulnerable.

And, you must also know about some heroes that are good against Abaddon, so you can avoid it, here's the list:

1. Ancient Apparition: His Ice Blast prevents Abaddon from healing himself or his allies with his skills or items. He can also harass him in lane with his Chilling Touch and Cold Feet.
2. Legion Commander: Her Duel pierces spell immunity and forces Abaddon to fight her one-on-one. She can also remove his Aphotic Shield with her Overwhelming Odds and gain bonus damage from killing him or his allies.
3. Oracle: His Fate's Edict makes Abaddon or his ally immune to physical damage but vulnerable to magic damage. He can also dispel his Aphotic Shield with his Fortune's End and prevent his healing with his Purifying Flames.
4. Shadow Demon: His Demonic Purge slows Abaddon down and removes his Aphotic Shield. He can also disrupt him or his ally and create illusions that benefit from his Curse of Avernus.
5. Viper: His Nethertoxin breaks Abaddon's passive and reduces his magic resistance. He can also harass him in lane with his Poison Attack and Corrosive Skin and kite him with his Viper Strike.

Abaddon is an annoying hero to play against, but he is not invincible as he can be countered with the right heroes, items, and strategies and some people will also think that if you choose Abaddon in game, they will try make you pay for picking that hero!

Abaddon is a great hero for beginners and veterans alike. He can be played aggressively or defensively, depending on the situation. He can also adapt his item build to suit his role and the enemy lineup. Some common items for Abaddon are Phase Boots, Drum of Endurance, Vladmir's Offering, Pipe of Insight, Guardian Greaves, Lotus Orb, and Aghanim's Scepter. These items give him mobility, survivability, utility, and team fight presence.

Abaddon is also a fun and rewarding hero to play, yet he is also one of the most boring heroes in the game, with his bland skills and personality. But still, he can save his allies from certain death, turn the tide of battles with his ultimate, and chase down fleeing enemies with his curse. He is also one of the coolest looking heroes in the game, with his menacing horse mount and his badass lore as the Lord of Avernus.
