Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane wins the Bane vs Timbersaw matchup: Bane beats Timbersaw in 65.00% of 240 ranked matches.
Controlling the map becomes incredibly difficult for a Timbersaw team because their hero can't play his game. Timbersaw wants to create chaos, diving in with Timber Chain and forcing reactions. Against Bane, that aggression gets punished hard. Fiend's Grip completely immobilizes him, and it pierces spell immunity, so a Black King Bar offers no protection. A Timbersaw who can't move is a dead Timbersaw, as teams can easily coordinate to kill him before he can escape or build up Reactive Armor stacks. Bane's Brain Sap dealing pure damage also bypasses the magic resistance Timbersaw naturally builds, making it even harder for him to survive getting caught out.
