Abaddon

So you just randomed Abaddon and you only have sixty seconds to learn how to play Abaddon. What will you do? Never fear: this is DotA in :60.

Abaddon is a late-game, damage-sucking mega-tank that even George Patton would salute. He's proof that just because you have a hideous horn growing out of your face -- doesn't mean you can't be a sweetie pie.

Four multifaceted powers, the first of which is "Heart to Heart" -- a round-about conversation that bolsters a crestfallen ally while wounding Abaddon with boredom.

"Lurch and Destroy" is a sparkly one-two punch that first shields a chosen ally, but then explodes -- to damage all the enemies who come to see the light show.

Abaddon's passive is the popular "Juice Fast", where Abaddon helps his enemy by cleaning out their insides while simultaneously rewarding those who come to back him up with heaping helpings of attack speed!

Ulti-time! Whaaaasssssuuuuuuppppppp! "Not Just Yet".

With "Heart to Heart" you can donate blood to help out a friend, with "Lurch and Destroy" you can turn your best-ie into a bomb, with "Juice Fast" you can reward a mitzvah, and with "Not Just Yet" you can be both popular and at the head of the class.

So what about items?

He get's mobbed by adoring fans, think cleave damage.

He's full of support, plop a donkey.

Phase Boots and Vladmir's Offering are the most popular, but if you want my advice Battle Fury is a must because the best way to greet five new friends is to cleave them in twain!

Thanks for watching this video, good luck in your match, always take the Aegis, tank and gank!
