How to counter AbramsHow to counter
Counter heroes, counter items and the window to fight
Heroes that do best against Abrams, the items that do best when Abrams is on the enemy team, and the window to fight. Each number compares a hero's (or item's) result against Abrams with its usual result, relative to how everyone does against Abrams, so neither a strong counter-pick nor a strong Abrams skews the list.
Their combo: Abrams charges into you with Shoulder Charge (it only stuns if he pins you against a wall), then drains you with Siphon Life while he shotguns and heavy-melees.
When to fight: Shoulder Charge is his main way in. Once it’s spent, kite him at range where his shotgun falls off, and watch for a Seismic Impact leap.
Beware: Fight away from walls. Don’t trade at melee range while Siphon Life heals him; parry his heavy melee to stun him.
