How this matchup plays

Picking Brewmaster into an enemy Chen is a tough proposition. When Brewmaster uses Primal Split, Chen’s army is perfectly suited to hunting down the individual spirits. His creeps can swarm and isolate one of the pandas, and Penitence makes it melt much faster. Losing even one spirit cripples Brewmaster's teamfight impact. Hand of God also provides a global answer to whatever burst the spirits might attempt on a single target. Granted, you don't see this matchup every day, but the way their spells line up is pretty brutal for Brew.
