Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Rubick wins the Bane vs Rubick matchup: Rubick beats Bane in 50.47% of 10,006 ranked matches.
Playing against Bane as a Rubick is a constant test of patience. The dream is to steal Fiend's Grip, but a good Bane player knows this and will hold the spell, creating a tense standoff. Bane's other spells are decent but not game-breaking steals. The real danger is that Bane can lock down one of your allies with his ultimate, forcing you to use Telekinesis to interrupt the channel. This either puts your own spell on cooldown or forces you to step into a dangerous position to get close enough for a steal, making you an easy target.
This dynamic repeats itself in teamfights all game. Bane wants to find an opening to use Fiend's Grip on a core target before Rubick can react. Rubick plays from the edges of the fight, waiting for that ultimate to come out so he can turn it against Bane’s own team. The fight often hinges on which of them gets their perfect setup. If Bane catches Rubick first, the fight is likely won. If Rubick successfully steals the ultimate and uses it on a key target, his team comes out ahead.
