How this matchup plays

Drafting Chen feels like a gamble if Enigma is still available. Chen’s whole plan is to amass a powerful army of creeps and run at the enemy team. Enigma’s Black Hole is a direct, punishing answer to this exact strategy, wiping out the entire army and usually Chen along with it. This forces Chen to play a scattered, hesitant game, unable to group up for the pushes and fights where he should be strongest. The fundamental problem is that the more successful Chen is at building his zoo, the better the enemy Enigma’s ultimate becomes. It’s an interaction that completely defines the matchup from the draft onward.
