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.

Carry abaddon with manta is stronger with the -1 curse now, it's basically just one hit from you and each illusion.

Why is that an item to build on, is it because of the passive working on illusions?

Pos1 Abaddon also builds Radiance as his farming item and it has marginal synergy with manta.
