I personally think the combination is weird to even exist in a MobA team based game.
Have you ever won against this setup? If so how did you guys deal with it?
Arthas, e build rehgar, aoe damage, uther, gust falstad if he gets divey, xul.
Results may vary. Good samuro players with an aba hat can only be mititgated not hard countered. Especially in non competitive/coordinated environments.
Alt+F4 also works /s

Taking a mental note of their name is also a good idea to do so you can ban in future. I just played with a master otp samuro (300 games with him and a 70% winrate) and they target banned him. He had put so much time into samuro that he couldn’t play anyone else. We felt bad for him so we had him first pick arthas since they banned 2/3 of his roster.

Keep in mind that it’s a 2 player combo, so wanting to counter it as only a single player is kinda well-wishing. Still…
Number 1 - Abathur hunting. The earlier you force Abathur into the town hall, the better off you are. Ideally, you’ll want Abathur sitting in Town Hall before lvl 7. So, play heroes that are generally solid Abathur hunters.
Samuro - The good news about Samuro is that he goes squish very easily. The bad news about Samuro is that he has 3+ escapes. If you manage to lock him down through all 3 escapes, you win. Keep in mind that Samuro is unable to escape if stunned or silenced, but he CAN escape when rooted and slowed quite easily.
Now, if you want to be able to completely counter this by yourself? Play Illidan - Illidan can both hunt Abathur (Diving Towers to kill Abathur) and W-build Illidan is an EXTREMELY strong Samuro counter (At 13, you can actually have Evasion up with 100% uptime against Samuro, and you can stick to him like glue through all of his escape attempts. Not to mention the huge AA and lifesteal buff you get against Samuro)
In Plat they just pop up, i think there’s less players in Master so it kinda easier to recognize people.
Reminds me this.
Target bans are so… painful to deal with.
