Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane wins the Bane vs Sven matchup: Bane beats Sven in 51.58% of 3,724 ranked matches.
Thinking you can reliably lock down Sven with Fiend's Grip is a common trap. Sooner or later, Sven will have a Black King Bar, which completely negates Bane's ultimate. Before that timing, his own team can often save him with a dispel or simply kill you while you're stuck channeling. A successful Fiend's Grip on a core without BKB is still a kill, but Sven's team is usually built to protect him through that sort of control. On the other hand, Bane's Enfeeble is a constant nuisance for Sven, chipping away at his damage output. Nightmare is also a great tool for disengaging or resetting a fight if Sven commits too hard, making this a very execution-dependent matchup.
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Bane's win rate against Sven in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted.
