How Underlord and Bane perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Underlord and Bane win 49.90% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,080 matches.
Controlling the map and setting up picks is the main strength of this duo. Underlord shoves waves constantly with Firestorm, creating pressure and farming dangerous areas safely. When an enemy is out of position, Bane offers the perfect setup. Nightmare can hold a target in place for an easy Pit of Malice, and Fiend's Grip guarantees they sit through the full duration of Underlord's damage. The main drawback is that both heroes offer control and attrition over burst. If the rest of the team can't provide the necessary damage to secure kills during the lockdown, the combo feels much less effective, leaving the outcome of most games feeling fairly balanced.
