Abaddon in pubs

[dotamamba]

Do you guys think its better to play Abaddon as a carry or support in pub games?

[Aghnaar]

In pubs, i play abaddon (with great success i must confess ) as an early game support with urn to heal teammates and vlads, and then if the game drags, i buy basher and transform him into a carry. I remember a game when i was just supporting early game, but the opponent riki started to get really strong, so i switched roles and i carried against him, winning the game. Aba with basher, mkb, bkb satanic and ac is a force to be reckoned with. U just have to use your bkb when your ulti goes on, so u wont get disabled in compination with satanic. U practically have 3 lives . Note also that his frostmourne causes him to bash all the time. Only troll can win u in permabash.

Loa is best suited for support tank die.
He needs too many items for semi carry.

As a semi carry, Radiance, Black king bar, Mkb, Butterfly, Hearts, and such.
Problem is, his skills are more on protecting his allies.
And farming is too slow and getting hand of midas is a joke.

In pub, you need to carry until someone that is good do it. In IH I actually make him semi-carry. Reason? Stuff like vlad/mek/pipe/heart doesn't fit me. More dps you have, more strong the lifesteal will be, more the ennemies will die faster, more tankier you get, less your real carry will die. MKB/AC is the core late/mid game item. Then you decide your lifesteal (mom/Satanic/Vlad). Phase/Travel/Tread. Now we have 4 item. You choose, depending on otherside pick, the two last item. If you need to tank more, go for the Heart, if you need dommage, Rapier or Buriza. Immunity, BKB/Linken. Need bash, get abysal etc.

**Note** : You can always get armlet earlie game, nicely used, it make you even more 'invincible'.

Base on him for him are some DPS. Lifesteal. If you need it earlie, a vanguard can be useful (if much physical dommage).

Remember, when ult pop, use coil, run into creep, twr, force the oppenent to fight you.

i think you should play abbadon based on what you are versing and what your allies have picked. every game is different so its hard to say which way to go all the time. however i think tank/support abbadons are a lot of fun in pub games.
