Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight wins the Bane vs Chaos Knight matchup: Chaos Knight beats Bane in 61.77% of 293 ranked matches.
Losing towers and Roshan becomes a real problem once Chaos Knight is ready to fight. Bane is built to disable one key target with spells like Fiend's Grip, but Chaos Knight's Phantasm completely bypasses this strategy. If Bane manages to grip the real hero, the illusions will simply kill him or his allies. More often, the ultimate gets wasted on a worthless illusion, leaving CK free to tear through the team. Nightmare faces the same problem, unable to stop the onslaught from multiple strong units. Bane is left without a good answer to Chaos Knight's core teamfight plan, making it difficult to stop his momentum.
