Instead of having it blow under certain damage, how about having it blow after a duration if it's not successfully destroyed?
Level 1: Explodes after 10 seconds dealing low damage
Level 2: Explodes after 8 seconds dealing fair damage
Level 3: Explodes after 6 seconds dealing moderate damage
Level 4: Explodes after 4 seconds dealing high damage
This will make it so that it's at least moderately countered and you won't have to run. Also might help reduce tower diving for kills

What?! You want to remove Abaddon's (whatever his HoN name is) only early game power? You are crazy.

Why do you want to nerf Abaddon????

It's not removing it, it's altering it.
Seriously? Go make a thread on Madman or something please. Nerf the heroes that ARE OP, not the ones who have been around and balanced for a long time.

I really don't see what the problem is with Abaddon as he is right now. Almost perfectly rounded in my opinion.

And why do you need to alter it...?

Not every balance suggestion is because the person who made the topic had a bad run in, it's just a simple suggestion. An alternative way to build him, you don't want to not give incentive on attacking the tank.
Put it on, make your enemies focus your shield or take 300 damage. It's actually pretty clever, you're all just being tunneled into the traditional Abaddon.
Tower diving and throwing it on your creeps to harass the enemy are classic aspects of Abaddon, no need to change them, it'd just make him more boring.

This would be a buff if you increase the duration. I don't see why the skill gets worse as you level it up. Currently the shield does nothing once its duration runs out; if it simply explodes at the end of the duration it would be a buff

I would like it if it exploded for say half damage or something if it didn't go off but otherwise the ability is fine.
