Bane Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Bane in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Bane beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Bane is a lane bully and single-target lockdown support whose Fiend's Grip and Nightmare remove one hero from a fight entirely. He's strongest into immobile casters and farm-reliant mids — Tinker, Mars and Nature's Prophet all get disabled out of the game at the worst moment. Bane is weakest into heroes that ignore single-target control: Naga Siren Songs through his setup, while Spectre and Lycan bring too many bodies and illusions for one Grip to matter. Draft tip: take Bane to neutralize a key enemy core; avoid him as your only disable into illusion or summon-heavy drafts.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Bane hardest are Meepo, Wraith King and Phantom Lancer — Bane wins only 40.3%, 43.3% and 44.3% of ranked matches against them.
