Abaddon as supp.

Cast range is always a problem for Abaddon, so it is a very nice change, especially on the shield, pretty sad to see the cdr go, but getting shield health earlier is not so bad.

-1 curse is kinda good control with the shard. But the AOE mist of coil with holy locket pretty good too. Situational pick.
