There is a question on how to play Abathur correctlyhow to play Abathur correctly, which is surely warranted given his unique mechanics. However, my question is more about how to be a good team mate for an Abathur player.
In this recent Heroes of the Dorm match the casters allude frequently to the fact that the other four players on an Abathur team should change their play style, but I'm unsure how I should be doing that, not in the least because low rank pubs are different from more professional matches.
Specifically, I'm wondering:
- Should Abathur typically be left ot solo a lane, or does he require some kind of support?
- What are the things to watch for on your own character given that Abathur can use abilities to enhance others?
- How do you need to compensate / account for an Abathur on your team for map objectives such as treasure chests and skulls?
- Is it necessary to check on Abathur's build and adjust your play style accordingly?
But, in short: how can you be a good team mate for Abathur in public matches?
