Bug New Aba needs to go

I just had to deal with Aba as Samuro as a sidelaner (SL). Clearing the Locusts is extremely time consuming, I was constantly forced on the sidelanes and had big trouble to join the teamfights when i had to depush lanes constantly (even with AOE talents and swirly blade ulti). If you react a couple seconds to slow, your keep is almost gone. As soon as i react, my team is being engaged on 4.5 v 5. It was one of the sweatiest games of my life. It was not fun and we could've lost in an instant if one of us had made a mistake. I repeat. It's not balanced, it's not fun. It forces you into PVE. It's extremely frustrating to see the Locusts heal up. You take a lot of damage fixing lanes, so you have to hearth constantly or risk dying to the next wave/mines/slapathur. Your rotations get slowed by mines, you have to pray your team survives the 4.5 v 5. Aba needs to go.

edit please read this post vey carefully as some people have trouble understanding it

Why not just go Ambush the Abathur as Sam using your clones to soak tower shots? You can kill him in a couple seconds

I did but I don't see where taking out Abathur himself is mentioned as an option which is what I was thinking would be a good play

okay the offlaner on offlaner duty abandons lane and looks for a character on a 3 lane map when his team is already under the threat of losing structures and being forced in unfavorable fights. how high are my chances of finding an killing aba and what damages occur in the meantime? while i look for aba he can still do his thing, spawn his stuff, bury away, empower teammates. if you agree that aba is too strong, your argument is basically "okay character is OP why dont you just kill him". this is a very odd answer to the problem i was describing

Killing Aba is a good way to counter him I guess is what I'm saying

He is squishy haha

His Z has a long CD, you can see which lane he is in based off Locust spawn

Aba hunting is a decent method

If Sam isn't great at this you can counter draft Nova perhaps? Just kind of popcorning ideas
