How Bane and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Wraith King win 51.39% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 685 matches.
Picking these two heroes together creates a simple, brutal game plan. Bane provides the perfect setup for a carry like Wraith King, who excels at hitting a single target that can't fight back. A long Fiend's Grip is an open invitation for Wraith King to walk up and secure a kill without any resistance. Bane can also use Nightmare defensively to stop enemies from kiting the king, or use Enfeeble to ensure Wraith King wins any right-click trades. This lockdown and protection gives WK the ideal conditions to dominate a fight.
The most powerful interaction revolves around Reincarnation. Opponents have to invest significant resources to take down Wraith King's first life, often leaving them out of position and with key spells on cooldown. As he revives, Bane can easily land Fiend's Grip on the highest-priority enemy hero. This completely turns the tables, allowing a fresh Wraith King to re-engage and clean up a fight that the enemy thought they had won. The only counterplay is to focus Bane down first, which is difficult when a massive skeleton king is bearing down on you.
