Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Dark Willow wins the Bane vs Dark Willow matchup: Dark Willow beats Bane in 51.03% of 10,697 ranked matches.
Trying to lock down Dark Willow often sees her vanish into Shadow Realm, dodging the setup and repositioning for a counter-attack. On the other hand, a preemptive Nightmare from Bane can catch her out, preventing any escape and leading into a Fiend's Grip. Both heroes excel at single-target control, but they also bring tools to directly counter each other's plans. Dark Willow can use Terrorize to cancel Bane's channeling from a safe distance, while Brain Sap can help Bane survive her burst damage. The winner of these trades is usually whoever initiates first or has better vision, making it a very volatile and even exchange throughout the game.
