Bane counters & matchups
Bane is a lane bully and single-target lockdown support whose Fiend's Grip and Nightmare remove one hero from a fight entirely. He's strongest into immobile casters and farm-reliant mids — Tinker, Mars and Nature's Prophet all get disabled out of the game at the worst moment. Bane is weakest into heroes that ignore single-target control: Naga Siren Songs through his setup, while Spectre and Lycan bring too many bodies and illusions for one Grip to matter. Draft tip: take Bane to neutralize a key enemy core; avoid him as your only disable into illusion or summon-heavy drafts.

Bane synergies
Bane's Fiend's Grip is a full-channel disable — he wants partners who turn 'one hero locked out of the fight' into a kill or a won fight. He synergizes with tanky front-liners and burst follow-up: Tidehunter and Wraith King hold the line while Bane removes their priority target, and Spectre or Meepo convert the man-advantage into a wipe. Bane is the 'delete their carry, then 5v4' button — pair him with a team that can punish the 5v4.
