Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane wins the Bane vs Templar Assassin matchup: Bane beats Templar Assassin in 55.29% of 293 ranked matches.
Expecting to blow up a support with a quick Meld strike often goes wrong against Bane. His Brain Sap deals pure damage, completely ignoring Refraction charges and making any trade costly for Templar Assassin. This pressure starts in lane and never really lets up. Once TA gets her core items and wants to be aggressive, a well-timed Fiendish Grip holds her in place right through her Black King Bar. She’s too fragile to survive being locked down like that, and Nightmare is always ready to save whichever ally she tries to burst first. Bane fundamentally disrupts her ability to get pickoffs and snowball.
