    he could literally make a perfect initiator with a shivas. no fear of dying + a guaranteed disengage.

      Even if he did have a guaranteed disengage, with a smart enemy he'll just get stunned/hexed/banished before he can actually do shit.

            If he gets stunned/hexed/banished he may as well have done his job as the initiator/tank. Opens leeway for your cores to engage without fear of retaliation. You have a puck .5 at the cost of pos4 farm, which is a pretty good bargain if you ask me.

              how can a position4 abbadon farm dagger and shiva in early-mid game?
              u dont make any sense here?
              he is a hero with no original iniation skill and no reliable farming potential like other modified position 4 heroes like doom or beastmaster.

                Abaddons spells get more useless as the game progresses.

                He is strongest in early / mid game.

                Yeah he can go late but he would need a lot of farm,

                With earlygame items he is very scary,

                He needs to fight early cause he can keep himself and his teamates alive, and once u win those early fights, ur chances of winning increase .

                Abadon doesnt need blink,

                He benefits ALOT w. Other items...so spending 2250 on blink can slow down ur momentum.

                    ^hope your opponents panic and pour all their nukes on you while your team snipes them, or if it was a bad engage you could just pop ult and disengage.

                    I know it makes no sense. It doesn't make sense to me much either... Yet. Let me spam a few more abaddons and present you results regardless if successful or not

                      As for the playstyle I have in mind, I find him most comfortable as a safelane support that pulls hard jungle or orb-walks(I couldn't think of a more updated term) the enemy offlane with high chance of a kill. Item priorities are orb of venom, movespeed and sustain. If I play carry abaddon I'd usually go phase orb perseverance into battlefury, but for a pos4 abaddon I'm thinking tranq, euls and dagger. Why dagger? Assuming you maxed curse of avernus and have an orb of venom, you effectively slowed down a target and your team can follow up. If it was a bad dive, no prob. You could either pop ult or euls then blink away. Shivas is more like a mid-late game lux depending on your kill participation.
