with a random skill order and a random build but with 200 more starting gold (or 100 for me and another team mate if my random is bad.)
I almost always random or as it is now compchallenge heroes and 10 hero challenge.
now for real though. my signature hero is more a combo of a friend and me. it's the only hero in my sig here (atm). It's me as Abaddon and my friend as Slark. this combo has worked out pretty well as our slarky has a 83.8% win rate in 37 games (It has been in the 90% for long but I haven't supported him al those matches as our pre mades sometimes has another support and well that one has screwed up lately by playing Nyx Assassin against mostly strength hero teams and not getting our Slarky to roll)
how we normally play is slark going for a quick silvers edge after threads (it always was SnY but now that edge exist he gets that sooner) -basher-skadi after those 3 he will normally also get Bfly and heart and of course abbysal. our slark lvls weird with going leap into shift and after that pact. after laning it will soon begin to start a gankfest for slark.
for abaddon I got multiple ways but it's mostly skill order. depending on the lane I will go heal or shield. mostly me going for heal to be able to secure kills if slark can't get them (and me being able to deny myself better) and for pre lvl 6 healing.
for build it depends a bit on my team but mostly you will see an aura abaddon from me.
I go for the normal recommended starting items build (mostly buying cour because you won't see me leaving the lane much as the moment slark jumps we are trying to kill)
after that my first focus is a basilius (unless someone else is going to get vlads aka the undying in our premades sometimes then I go Bracer) and after that boots of speed.
you wont see me getting a soul ring quickly I know it's one of the best items so you can get enough mana for a deny or heal yourself in ulty but I'm really good at using it the wrong time setting my ulty off. I do get it sometimes.
after boots of speed (and sometimes soul) I'm going to need to make a decision on arcane or vlads (I always go for mec boots) and sometimes a bracer.
after vlads and arcane I normally go for a drum or mec. after those 2 the mec boots will come.
so we will be on:
mec boots
vlads
drums
(soul ring)
(magic wand, only in spell spammy lanes the iron branches go to mec and vlads too)
after that I normally go for AC for sure so my core really is mec boots vlads drum AC
for the last too items I normally pick between blade, solars crest (this being picked up a lot sometimes before AC and drum), aghs, heart, pipe (depends on enemy team if I take it), shiva's (also depends on team), force and Gem (dependign if needed agaisnt riki's/techies etc.)
items you really dont see much on me but sometimes come in handy are halberd, radiance, sheepstick and crimson guard.
normally you will see something along (if I get this far)
mecboots-vlads-drums-AC-solar-heart/aghs (with preference for heart)
(this really gets fun with when we have an at east 4 man premade going Dazzle Abaddon Slark and Undying (mid can be a bit random but shouldn't lose his lane horribly unles he is agaisnt a pudge because that doesnt matter)
skillbuild is EQQWQRQWWWREEEsRsssssssss if you didnt guess that (I sometimes switch the first two levels if i need to escape rather than dodge harass/stuns)
