How this matchup plays

Channeling Fiend’s Grip on a target with Ion Shell is often a death sentence for Bane. Dark Seer can simply place the shell on whichever hero Bane tries to lock down, forcing him to either cancel his own ultimate or take huge damage. Beyond that direct counter, Surge gives his teammates an easy way to disengage from Nightmare or reposition during a gank. This makes it incredibly hard for Bane to find the clean, single-target pickoffs he needs to be effective. This matchup isn't seen too often, however, so there could be item builds that shift the dynamic.
