Is a unique tank that sacrifices raw durability for Spell Armor and long-range crowd-control-based utility than other tanks. His kit is composed of powerful skillshots, which can be extremely rewarding when combinations are executed flawlessly. Alarak forces enemies to respect his area of influence, as getting too close can quickly result in death. He works best on a team that can reliably follow up when he forces an enemy out of position or silences them. Is great for team compositions that need a strong solo lane Hero. Abathur requires your team to play differently than normal, and you will have the most success when your teammates understand this.

Even in drafts where you have a good team composition and map for him, you should make sure your team is comfortable with the pick. He can be extremely powerful with the right team composition, or can struggle to provide value because of a map's mechanics.

If the enemy team has one of their Heroes soak a lane to try to catch up, then your team is at a significant advantage in any team fight that occurs during that time.ĭue to the specific nature of his strengths and weaknesses, Abathur's place in the meta will likely remain situational. This creates an experience advantage over the enemy team. This is done by moving Abathur within range of Minions and then using Symbiote or Ultimate Evolution Ultimate Evolution to assist your team. Biggest strength is being able to contest map objectives while soaking experience.
