How Bane and Marci perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Marci win 50.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,928 matches.
Trying to burst down a single target is this duo's entire game plan. Bane can set up a kill with Nightmare or lock someone in place with Fiend's Grip, giving Marci a perfect window to use Unleash. The problem is that both heroes invest everything into killing that one person. If the enemy team has saves or simply groups up, your big combo can get nullified and you're left with little else. Marci often wants to dive deep with Rebound, but Bane needs to stay on the edge of the fight to channel his ultimate safely. This positioning clash can mean one of them is ineffective or exposed, making their powerful gank less reliable than it appears on paper.
