How Abrams beats The Doorman

Brawler vs Mystic

Most Mystic damage is spirit damage. Buy Spirit Resist early and walk them down after they’ve used their main spell.

Your game plan as Abrams

A bully who wins by refusing to leave. Every fight Abrams takes, he wants to take at shotgun range.

Lane
Walk forward whenever Siphon Life is up and trade through the enemy’s pokes; Infernal Resilience pays you back for the damage you take. Hold Shoulder Charge until they’re near a wall.
Mid game
Roam to the lane with the squishiest pair and charge one of them into terrain. You’re the team’s door-opener on Walkers.
Late game
Seismic Impact is a teamfight starter: land on the backline, stun three, Siphon, let your carries follow. Buy anti-CC so you can’t be kited.
