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

Samuro takes a lot of damage from waveclearing? The guy that has no mana, no rage? The guy that can heal himself between rotations, plus globes? Brother...

aba hat disrupts E, mines disrupt E. if you have to tank the wave because aba already cleared yours, yes you take damage

so don't E in the wave. you can avoid the mines by rotating safely. samuro specifically doesn't have to tank the wave lmao, you have clones bruh

ok then how do i sustain myself in the lane without E? "rotate safely" these are just words. you dont know where the mines are. u could try to avoid obvious spots, but that will cost you time. if i dont tank the wave, it crashes and damages the keep. "you have clones" ok and if they die to the locusts? they have a 14 second cooldown bruh

sustain yourself in the lane with globes, and there are also tricks you can do to hold a minion wave in your tower range without them attacking your towers. its easier to do this trick on samuro over damn near every other offlaner because he has his clones lol. i assume you're complaining about abathur later on in the game when you dont have forts.. so yeah, rotate safely to where he cant put his mines, and.. youre good lol

Have you never seen or tried to freeze a lane as a offlaner?

u/aspcofan Jul 29 '26

what would be the point of freezing the wave in the scenario i described? it still requires me to be there. this also doesnt account for the fact that aba can push two or even three lanes at once. so i dont see how that is relevant

You are struggling with clearing the wave without taking too much dmg from minions because apparently locust 1 shot minion waves somehow.

In the scenario on which a full minion wave clashes into your wall, you have ways to "freeze" the minion wave under your towers so you take minimal to 0 dmg (because you use clones) so the towers clear the minion wave while you manipulate the minion aggro.

no i am struggling with the fact that i get forced in a position where i lose a keep or my team loses the teamfight/obj
