How Abaddon and Bane perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Abaddon and Bane win 50.57% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,764 matches.
A channeled Fiend's Grip often draws the entire enemy team's attention to Bane. Abaddon is great at keeping him alive through that focus. An Aphotic Shield on Bane absorbs a lot of the incoming burst damage, buying crucial seconds for the channel to do its work. If the enemy commits harder, Borrowed Time can ensure Bane survives the attempt. This defensive layering makes their single-target pickoffs more reliable. However, this pairing doesn't solve Bane's main weakness to chain stuns, as a new disable will still break his ultimate. The duo also lacks significant area damage, making it tough to win a wider teamfight if their initial target gets saved.
