How Bane and Snapfire perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Snapfire win 46.86% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 606 matches.
Looking at this duo and only thinking about the big ultimate combo is a common trap. The real pressure starts much earlier in the lane. Bane can use Nightmare to put an enemy to sleep, which provides a guaranteed setup for Snapfire's Firesnap Cookie. That stun then leads into an easy Scatterblast and right-clicks from both heroes, creating kill threat from the first few waves. Later on, that famous combo comes online. Fiend's Grip holds a target completely still, making it trivial for Snapfire to land every single glob of Mortimer Kisses. This provides a reliable way to delete one key hero while damaging everyone else around them.
