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

Controlling the pace of teamfights often comes down to which side lands the first critical disable. Both Bane and Grimstroke are excellent at setting up these initial kills, but they can directly interfere with each other's plans. A successful Fiend's Grip from Bane on a core can be complicated by Grimstroke's Soulbind, which links the held target to a nearby ally and can disrupt the follow-up burst damage. However, this requires another enemy to be in range. Bane can also use Nightmare to disable a different target or simply try to lock down Grimstroke first. Neither hero has a foolproof way to dictate the fight, making their head-to-head encounters dependent on positioning and who acts first.
