Why this works
Struggling to build early momentum often defines this pairing. Chen wants to group his army and push down towers, but Bane offers little to help siege objectives or clear waves. The bigger problem is in fights, where Bane's Nightmare is almost always broken instantly by Chen’s many summoned units, making it difficult to set up kills or disengage. While a Fiend’s Grip can hold someone down, the duo lacks the follow-up damage to secure fast kills. This lane hasn't been explored much, so its true fit could be different in the right hands.
