Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Drow Ranger wins the Chen vs Drow Ranger matchup: Drow Ranger beats Chen in 60.78% of 102 ranked matches.
Trying to push a tower with a full army feels hopeless for Chen when a Drow Ranger is defending. A single Multishot can wipe out all his controlled creeps from a safe distance, neutralizing his primary contribution to a fight before it even properly begins. The constant slow from Frost Arrows also ensures any surviving units will never reach their targets, allowing Drow to kite them indefinitely. While Chen can still use Penitence to amplify damage on a target or Hand of God to save an ally, he loses his ability to apply pressure and create chaos. He brings an army to the fight, and Drow simply erases it.
