I tried playing (support) abaddon today and it went pretty well. Any tips on zoning the offlaner without pushing the creepwave too much? It's hard to get in autoattacks without drawing creep aggro. Aphotic shield is really nice for trading, but the aoe pushes the creep equilibrium as well.
What early game sustainability items work best on him? Tranquils + soul ring gives lots of sustain and allows you to clear camps with shield pretty well, while mana boots + urn helps the team more, and could build into aether lens. Finally, what mid-lategame items should I get? Aether lens buffs your shitty shield range and helps with mana and survivability. Atos gives you tons of hp and mana and gives abaddon a way to threaten people beyond melee range. Aghs sounds super powerful on paper?
