How Bane and Oracle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Oracle win 47.96% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,174 matches.
Trying to lock down a single target can get messy with this duo. Bane and Oracle both bring strong control, but their abilities risk canceling each other out. A Nightmare used to set up a kill can be accidentally broken by Oracle's Purifying Flames, wasting the disable. Even worse, casting Fate's Edict on an enemy caught by Fiend's Grip will make them immune to its magic damage, completely neutering Bane's ultimate. While they can chain disables with perfect timing and offer multiple saves for their cores, the high potential for miscommunication and wasted spells often balances out any benefits, making them an inconsistent combination in teamfights.
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.
