Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Bane wins the Bane vs Lina matchup: Bane beats Lina in 52.28% of 28,086 ranked matches.
Trying to execute her full combo on a key target is where Lina often feels the pressure. Bane can instantly interrupt her with Nightmare, buying crucial time for his ally to reposition or for help to arrive. If Bane himself is the target, he can often survive the initial burst with a well-timed Brain Sap, then turn the fight completely by using Fiend's Grip on her. This fundamental disruption of Lina's primary goal gives Bane a consistent, if small, way to interfere with her game plan at all stages.
The dynamic forces Lina to itemize and position more defensively. A Black King Bar is almost mandatory for her to safely cast her spells, but Bane can still be a threat. He can Nightmare a different hero to cause chaos while her BKB is active, or simply wait for it to expire before locking her down. The result is that Bane doesn't completely shut Lina down, but he forces her to play around his cooldowns, reducing her overall impact and creating openings for his own team to take control of a fight.
