How Bane and Nature's Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Nature's Prophet win 48.20% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 388 matches.
Setting up a kill with Fiend's Grip often requires an ally who can provide immediate, high burst damage, a role Nature's Prophet rarely fills. His game plan revolves around split-pushing and farming across the map with Teleportation, which means he's frequently not in position to capitalize on Bane's lockdown. Even when he is present for a gank, his damage output takes time to ramp up and isn't the concentrated burst needed to secure a kill during the channel. This leaves Bane vulnerable and the gank uncertain, as both heroes generally lack the durability or area-of-effect control to manage a fight if it goes longer than a few seconds.
