A lot of russians in my games write "ab-st" or "abst" or "ab st" and I have no idea what does that mean. When you pick a hero like tiny or meepo or omni people start flaming you. Why? Its not like these heroes win you the game automatically when you pick them. What are the "ab st" heroes that I shouldn't pick? If I actually cared about that...

AB - autoban heroes. It some "imbalance" heroes in host's opinion so he will ban you if you gonna pick this heroes. Every host have his unique ab list so u need to ask him which heroes are ab.

Most popular ab heroes in 6.83:

Tiny, bara, omni, huskar, geo, earth spirit, zet...

Sorry for my English, hope u will understand me.

Hey,

There are also more ab pick heroes , namely slark, venom, viper, abandon, trent as I remember. There can be also more ab pick heroes. However there are no ab pick heroes for the 6.85 version of dota.

Почему в 6.85 доты нет аб? Чем они отличаются от 6,83 ? Там тоже есть аб, просто даун какой то придумал что в 6,85 нету аб, и все начали писать что нет аб. Сларк и омник, в 6,83 аб? а в 6,85 не аб? И почему же?) Ну и люди пошли)

^ 37-32 C rang high. Ofc he knows about AB list better than others.

In 85 you might see only 2 AB heroes - Alch and Invoker but noone cares anout them. They are just a bit unbalanced rather those imba-bugged from 83.
