    Why and why not?

      No : Others do it better and aren't just a creep with a purge. Has no crowd control. Can't proc 4 hits passive against ennemies with a brain without ally lockdown. Good players will still eul him while ulti and not focus him first if not needed (if he managed to reach your backlines somehow you need to punish it but that's unlickely to happen).
      => The pick is not a game changer, provides less heal than others, provides a weaker purge than others, the passive is unreliable, decent players know how to deal with his ultimate.

      Other than that, if we look at meta drafts :
      - PA can crit above ulti threshold because of his low armor
      - Slark can have stats dinner on him
      - OD can damage above ulti threshold and like slark can have a nice INT meal
      - Lion can ulti above ulti threshold
      - Can't catch magina
      - [...]

        provides a weaker purge than others

          Weaker doesn't mean weak but you read what you want.
          Was focused mainly on Oracle and yes Oracle purge is much better.
          Moreover abbadon is a STR pick and has a lower mana pool than Oracle.

          Edit:
          Looking at other purges:
          - LC gives AS (scales with dmgs) and has a crowd control as ultimate => better
          - Omniknight heavenly grace (new repel) gives status resistance (scales with tankiness and number of stuns you can handle) => better

          => Their purge scales unlike abbadon's one.

            I dont know why this dumb valve make his 3rd only has 4 scd buff timer despite mk buff last for 35 scd. It just make his 3rd worthless as a trash

              Illusions can increment the counter but it's still bad.
              Meanwhile, slardar gets a +225 dmgs and bash every 3 hits that scales with his ultimate.

                Yeah, right better keep his old 3rd because the new one is so dumb and stupid. This dumb valve will never learn

                  His new third is great, what are you talking about? Silence, slow, and more than double beastmaster's aura worth of attack speed for yourself and allies. It's like one of the best abilities for taking down buildings.

                  no tilt

                    whats there to learn? its one of the most braindead heroes in the game

                      weaker purge than others? What might that mean?

                        yes abba is really strong atm

                            there are 2 types of dispels, strong dispel and weak dispel.
                            Apothic shield is a strong dispel though, so im not sure what is talked about here.

                              I think he means it's weak compared to press the attack and heavenly grace? Though even that's kind of debatable, it does have half the cooldown compared to the other 2.
