How Bane and Dazzle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Dazzle win 48.77% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,425 matches.
Pairing these two often comes down to how much you need to protect a single, critical channel. The main idea is for Dazzle to cast Shallow Grave on a Bane who is using Fiend's Grip, guaranteeing the disable finishes even if Bane gets focused. This can be enough to win a key fight. The trade-off is that both heroes are very single-target focused. They can struggle to provide enough impact when dealing with heavy area damage or multiple aggressive heroes at once. Their combined lane presence is also more about survival than creating kills, so you're banking on that mid-game lockdown potential to pay off.
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.
