Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane wins the Bane vs Lone Druid matchup: Bane beats Lone Druid in 50.53% of 1,324 ranked matches.
Trying to use Fiend's Grip on Lone Druid often feels like you're only solving half the problem. If Bane locks down the main hero, the Spirit Bear is free to keep hitting targets and can be a real threat on its own. If the Grip is used on the Spirit Bear instead, the Lone Druid hero can simply cast Savage Roar to fear Bane and instantly break the channel. This two-unit dynamic makes it hard for Bane to fully neutralize his target. While Enfeeble can be very effective at cutting the bear's damage output, Lone Druid generally has more ways to play around the single-target lockdown, giving him a slight edge.
