How Bane and Timbersaw perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Timbersaw win 46.69% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 302 matches.
Facing a Fiend's Grip should mean you're dead, but it's often not the case here. Timbersaw wants to cause chaos and deal sustained area damage, not unload a burst combo onto one stationary hero. While the target is held, Timbersaw is still zipping around, hitting whoever is convenient with his spells. This leaves the rest of the team to handle the kill, and if they can't, Bane's biggest spell is wasted. Bane needs a partner who can instantly capitalize on his lockdown, and Timbersaw is built for a completely different kind of fight, preferring drawn-out brawls where he can wear everyone down.
