How Bane and Crystal Maiden perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Crystal Maiden win 49.85% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,426 matches.
Having a constant mana supply from Arcane Aura lets Bane solve one of his biggest problems. He can be much more active with Enfeeble and Brain Sap, sustaining himself and harassing enemies without having to ferry out Clarities. The kill potential in lane is also decent. Nightmare from Bane provides a clean setup for Crystal Maiden to land a Crystal Nova and Frostbite, securing early advantages. Later on, a well-timed Fiend's Grip can hold a key target in place for a full Freezing Field. This combination can be fragile, though, since both heroes are vulnerable and rely on channeled spells that are easy to interrupt, which keeps the pairing from being truly dominant.
