How this matchup plays

Sending your creep army after Dark Seer feels like it should work, but it's often a trap. His Ion Shell melts low-health summons that get too close, and he can Surge away from danger if he gets focused. The very units that give Chen his early map pressure become a liability, feeding gold and experience. A good Vacuum can also clump Chen and his whole entourage together for an easy teamfight wipe. This matchup is rare enough that there could be an angle we're missing, but the core interaction seems grim.
