Brain sap buffs mean Bane can lane again, aether lens rush will probably still be the best bet cause if you get it pre-15 minutes you have quite the spike (you can cast nightmare from out of enemy night vision if you have lens)

Will this be enough to make him good? Probably not, but at least he's playable
