How Bane and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Bane and Winter Wyvern win 48.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,434 matches.
Setting up a kill with this pair can be very effective, but also tricky. The ideal scenario involves Bane using Fiend's Grip on a target, followed by Winter Wyvern casting Winter's Curse on the same hero. This forces the entire enemy team to finish off their own disabled ally. The coordination required is high, however. If Bane is standing too close to the cursed target, he'll be forced to attack and will break his own channel. Similarly, Winter Wyvern has to be careful with Cold Embrace; using it to save a channeling Bane from attackers will also stun him and interrupt his ultimate. The spells have powerful lockdown potential together, but can easily interfere with each other without good timing.
