How Bane and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41f, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Bane and Troll Warlord win 50.26% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 5,267 matches.
Facing down a Fiend's Grip feels like a death sentence when Troll Warlord is nearby. Bane provides the perfect lockdown, holding a target in place so Troll can stack up his damage and secure a kill without having to worry about being kited. The combo is a simple and effective ganking tool throughout the game. The main issue is that both heroes are committing their biggest spells to killing one person. If the enemy team has a way to save their teammate or break Bane's channel, the whole play falls apart, leaving both of you out of position. This makes the pairing a reliable way to get single pickoffs, but it can be inflexible against coordinated teams.
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.
