Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane wins the Bane vs Puck matchup: Bane beats Puck in 53.48% of 230 ranked matches.
Getting caught by Bane feels awful as a Puck. The core of Puck's game is to be elusive, dancing on the edge of fights and escaping with Phase Shift or a well-timed Jaunt. Bane's kit directly invalidates this strategy. Fiend's Grip is the perfect tool to hold Puck in one place long enough for any nearby hero to finish the kill. Before Puck can get a Black King Bar, a single mistake in positioning means death. Even Nightmare can set up an easy follow-up stun, preventing any escape. Bane simply provides the exact type of long, single-target lockdown that is required to pin down and eliminate an otherwise slippery target.
