How Arc Warden and Bane perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Arc Warden and Bane win 49.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,152 matches.
Setting up a kill with Fiend's Grip gives Arc Warden a perfect window to unload damage with his Tempest Double. Nightmare can also provide the time needed to stack Spark Wraiths on a target. The issue is that both heroes are almost entirely dedicated to single-target elimination. Against teams that group up early or have multiple saves, this duo can struggle to find an opening. Arc Warden also prefers to farm and split-push for a long time, while Bane is strongest when he's actively ganking and forcing fights. Their playstyles can clash, meaning they have to find isolated targets to have an impact together.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
