Chen (Holy Knight) in Dota 2 7.41: win rate, pick rate, the heroes Chen counters and struggles against, and its best teammates — from recent ranked matches by Batru's AI win-prediction pipeline.
Chen is an early-game push commander who dominates lanes with captured neutral creeps and saves allies globally with Hand of God. He's strong into greedy, low-tempo heroes he out-pushes before they come online: Elder Titan (63.2%), Brewmaster (59.8%) and Timbersaw (58.6%) all lose to his early creep aggression. Chen is countered by illusion/summon clear and divers: Phantom Lancer (41.2%) out-bodies his creeps, while Crystal Maiden (42.1%), Earth Spirit (42.2%) and Dawnbreaker (42.7%) punish his fragile frame. Draft tip: Chen is a powerful early-push enabler into slow, greedy drafts; he falls off hard if his early tempo doesn't translate into a won game.

Chen converts neutral creeps into an early-game army and keeps his team alive with a global heal — he's the ultimate push-strategy enabler. His best partners are summon/push cores: Lycan (60.2%) and Shadow Demon (58.3%) turn his creep aggression into a tower-taking snowball, while Pugna (57.3%) and Clockwerk (56.2%) add the nether/pickoff pressure to end early. Give Chen a fast-push carry and the game is often over by 20 minutes.
