Trying to use Fiend's Grip on the right target is the whole game here. A successful grip on the real Arc Warden almost guarantees a kill, as he's a fragile hero who relies on positioning and kiting. Bane has the perfect tool to hold him in place for the team to collapse on. The problem for Bane is the Tempest Double. If he wastes his long-cooldown ultimate on the clone, his team's kill threat is gone and the real Arc Warden is free to deal damage from a safe distance. The matchup often comes down to who can outsmart whom; if Bane finds the right hero, he wins the fight, but if Arc Warden baits the spell, he takes over.
