I kinda tried do do it there, which resulted in complete failure.

[[kosarkas]]

It depends on the game actually, but...Hmmmm, there are more ways to play abbadon, I prefer to play him as support and go for arcane boots, urn of shadows, meka and pipe...and mostly the game is over by then, if not u can go shiva and if you have melee carries u can make vladimirs so they dont waste gold on it. Or you can go blade mail...(or hex for disableing their carry)

But if you are owning or dont have any carries in team, you can play abbadon as carry... I don't play him as carry so I better let some1 else tell you their item build for carry abbadon!:))

U mean AI dota or something else?

[div.ide]

Official AI maps threads belong here (Current one is stickied and always on top. Requires account to see section).
Link for current version: DotA v6.74c AI 1.3(HOPE)

@[kosarkas],  you can count on me

[[kosarkas]]

I know ) I hoped so ) Well I have a question about AI dota...does it matter if u put hard,easy,normal on computers cause imo they play the same what ever u put! :/ 

[div.ide]

It affects gold and exp bonuses (25%/50%/75% IIRC), so it matters unless you put -neng (normal exp normal gold). Plus they get free TPs, bonus ms and regen on low hp and so on...
AIs are like maphackers: they cheat hard but have no brainz.

here's same as with abbadon

what to build/how to play for/with medusa ?
since I find this hero most useless in dota all stars

if I build classic INT things, like bloodstone to make survivability longer
her spells and damage are shit

but if I go to pimp her with weapons (whatever is it Mjolnir or desolator+curias or orchid+shiva)
her survivability is 0

actually i always play abbadon as carry .. i know how to build support items for him but what i want to ask

is his item built as carry.. thx in advance 

[[kosarkas]]

For medusa: You only need bloodstone and you will have great survivability, then you can focus on dps items like mjollnir, buriza, assault(also for survivability), BoT or PT and mby butterfly... But you should decide on the item build ingame after you see how your team is doing because you can have imba farm with medusa due to her snake skill!


As for carry abbadon: PT or BoT, and if u can get fast radiance you should go for it, basher is a must for carry abadon that u will later upgrade to abys, BKB if they have disablers, assault, and mby some lifesteal or focus on more dmg cause u got shield and ulti...

[FU I am PeNGuiN]
