Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.

Using Fiend's Grip on a core hero often feels like a sure thing, but people forget that Dazzle has one of the best counters to single-target lockdown. Casting Shallow Grave on the gripped target completely negates Bane's ultimate, leaving him stuck channeling on a hero who can't die. This often turns a pick-off attempt into a lost fight, as Bane is a sitting duck for the duration. The matchup isn't one-sided, though. The whole dynamic flips if Bane or his allies can catch Dazzle himself. Without Dazzle to cast the save, Bane's lockdown works exactly as intended, making fights hinge on which support gets caught out of position first.
