Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Bane wins the Bane vs Tusk matchup: Bane beats Tusk in 50.74% of 9,009 ranked matches.
Catching Tusk as he commits is where Bane finds an edge. When Tusk uses Snowball to start a fight, a well-timed Nightmare on his target can completely negate the initiation, saving an ally and leaving Tusk out of position. If Tusk still manages to land on a priority hero, Bane can answer with Fiend's Grip, locking him down and turning the gank into an easy kill for his team. This interaction is not a foolproof counter, however. A quick Tusk can often catch Bane himself or play around his long cooldowns. The constant threat of Bane's saves is often enough to make Tusk’s game plan a little more awkward than usual.
