How Bane and Silencer perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Silencer win 50.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,390 matches.
Catching a priority hero often relies on stacking control, and Bane's Fiend's Grip provides an ideal window for Silencer to apply Last Word and pile on damage with Glaives. Using Global Silence to prevent saves during the channel makes for a very secure kill on almost anyone. The problem is that both heroes are dedicated to locking down one person at a time, which can feel redundant and leaves the team vulnerable to coordinated pushes or multiple threats. They don't bring much wave clear or physical damage to the table. This duo needs to find early pickoffs and convert them into objectives, because they struggle to provide answers once the enemy team starts grouping as five.
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.
