Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane wins the Bane vs Venomancer matchup: Bane beats Venomancer in 50.80% of 3,927 ranked matches.
Playing against Bane is frustrating because a single spell completely dismantles Venomancer's game plan. Fiend's Grip holds Veno in place for a long time, letting a team delete him before his damage-over-time can do its job. Even if Veno gets his spells off, Nightmare can save an ally, letting Poison Nova or Gale wear off without consequence. Venomancer wants to win long, drawn-out fights with attrition, but Bane’s lockdown is immediate and decisive, ensuring the fight is over before Veno’s damage adds up.
This makes early ganks and mid-game rotations incredibly dangerous for Venomancer. He needs to push out lanes and place Plague Wards to apply pressure, but this regularly leaves him exposed. Bane can show up and turn that aggression into a free kill. In larger fights, Veno is forced to play from the absolute backline, hoping to get a good Poison Nova off before he gets caught. Bane, on the other hand, can confidently look for that opening to Fiend's Grip Venomancer and take him out of the fight from the very start.
