How Bane and Kunkka perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Kunkka win 50.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,428 matches.
Setting up a Ghostship with Nightmare sounds like a classic combo, but it demands good timing. If Kunkka's Torrent is even slightly off, it can wake the target early and waste the whole gank attempt. The coordination required to make it work smoothly means it isn't always a reliable way to secure kills. Outside of that specific interaction, the heroes don't offer each other much. Bane’s Fiend's Grip can also hold someone for the boat, but both heroes are then using their primary spells on one target. This leaves them with limited resources for the wider teamfight that follows, making the trade-off feel pretty balanced.
