In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Chen win 30.77% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 13 matches.

Small sample: this pairing has only 13 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.

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.
