Abaddons Borrowed Time

[God_ii]

i was inspired by a recent thread about aba's ult going off sometimes while neutralling, free farming a lane, etc.
i suggest aba's ult will only go off if he goes under the hp amount and the damage he received was from a hero, fountain, or roshan.
pros:
now he can farm a lane or neutral w/o worrying ult will go off
still can activate manually, ofc
cons:
mega creeps attack all at the same time?
uncodable?

Haha thanks for the shout out. This solves a lot of problems but there are still times early game where, creep or no creep, you don't want your ult to go off.
Also, creeps can do a lot of dmg when there a lot of them attacking you at once and it might actually be a good thing to have your ult turn on automatically.
Please specify about towers too because they can also do a lot of damage but also, they can do little damage but still annoyingly turn on your ult.

^unless u are paying absolutely no attention, 400 damage from creeps would be at least 30 hits from melee creeps. the thing is, unless there is a hero nearby, it would be really sad to die from creeps, towers, etc. so no to towers but yes to fountain

[connguatrang]

Auto active if there are enemy heroes nearby, or towers, fountain, rs..

[God_ii]

^ it's not like this suggestion makes it so he always farms at low hp, so i dont think it should auto activate. it would be used like blur then =P

Pretty good idea for a buff. Most of the time, whether it's neutrals or normal creeps (and especially early game when 400 hp is about half of your health) it's activated for worse.

Your suggestion gives it purpose on it;s usual usage: against Heroes. Besides, 400 HP are enough for you to take your time and notice whether you want to activate the ulty yourself against enemies other than heroes.

tl;dr: support.

i prefer a configurable ultimate. a command with a number that sets the bar.

[hANDoFbLOOD]

Can't we have a sub, toggle-able ability which when activated, will allow borrowed time to be cast when abbadon reaches 400hp. I mean, you get the point.

Have a good day!

And hero owned units. You forgot that, but yeah, T-Up.

T-Up for this

It's part of his gameplay. It'd be kinda like saying, Mortred's crit should be toggleable, so I can shut off during their Blade Mail.

Completely ridiculous.

That's not a good comparison. When someone uses blade mail you can simply stop attacking them.

A good comparison would be Puck's phase shift, which can be toggled to autocast on attack.

The simple solution is to have borrowed time's autocast when under 400 hp to be toggle-able.

From Abaddon's hero page:

Borrowed Time will activate itself if you suffer damage while being with less than 400 hitpoints . . .

. . . and the damage he received was from a hero, fountain, or roshan. In any other situations (creeps, towers etc.) - while being with less than 100 hitpoints.

This should do the trick
