How Bane and Beastmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Beastmaster win 44.97% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,739 matches.
Picking both Bane and Beastmaster for the same team often commits too many resources to a single job. Both heroes excel at locking down one enemy, but stacking Primal Roar and Fiend's Grip on a single target is usually overkill. This leaves your team with two major ultimates on cooldown for one kill, making it hard to deal with the remaining enemies. The bigger issue is the lack of area damage and control. If the enemy team groups up or has multiple strong heroes, this duo struggles. They create a very specific, single-target game plan that can be easily played around by opponents who draft for teamfight or survivability.
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.
