Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Night Stalker wins the Bane vs Night Stalker matchup: Night Stalker beats Bane in 51.99% of 13,078 ranked matches.
Getting jumped at night is the main problem for Bane in this matchup. Night Stalker's silence from Crippling Fear can easily land before Bane gets off a defensive Nightmare or even his Fiend's Grip ultimate. This leaves him completely vulnerable, as he has no way to escape once he's caught. Night Stalker is built to hunt down isolated, fragile heroes, and a support Bane often fits that description perfectly when trying to place wards. While Bane can still be very effective by using his spells on Night Stalker's teammates, he has a hard time surviving if Night Stalker decides to focus him directly. The game becomes much more dangerous for Bane once the sun goes down.
