Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Crystal Maiden wins the Chen vs Crystal Maiden matchup: Crystal Maiden beats Chen in 52.87% of 87 ranked matches.
Trying to build a creep army as Chen feels like setting up a farm for the enemy Crystal Maiden. Her area-of-effect spells are the core of the problem. Crystal Nova can slow and damage the entire group at once, making it difficult to surround a target or retreat. The bigger threat is Freezing Field, which can completely wipe out Chen's summons in seconds, turning his primary strength into a huge gold advantage for her team. Even if he tries to play away from her, Frostbite is a reliable root to lock him down for a kill. Chen’s own kit lacks the tools to effectively deal with her sustained area damage.
