How this matchup plays
Thinking Chen's army can run down a fragile support is a common mistake. The reality is that Dark Willow’s area-of-effect control is unusually well-suited to dealing with a swarm of units. Bramble Maze clogs up paths for his creeps and chips them down, making it difficult for Chen to organize a gank or a push. Cursed Crown will punish the entire group if they try to clump up on a target. In a big teamfight, a well-placed Terrorize scatters his whole army and leaves him exposed. It’s not a complete shutdown, but Dark Willow consistently has the tools to undermine his core strategy, giving her a noticeable edge.
