Thinking you can Fiend's Grip Riki to save your carry is the classic mistake here. What actually happens is Riki blinks on you, the support, and drops Smoke Screen. The silence instantly cancels your channel, and you're usually dead before you can react. His entire game is about finding and killing squishy backliners, and Bane is the perfect target. Even if you manage to grip someone else, Riki's smoke still disrupts your team's follow-up damage with its miss chance. He has all the tools to prevent Bane from establishing the single-target control he needs to be effective in a fight.
