How this matchup plays

Clearing out Chen's creeps with Stroke of Fate seems straightforward, but the game rarely plays out that way. Chen isn't forced to group up his army for a brawl; he can use his units to apply pressure in multiple lanes at once. This forces Grimstroke to react rather than dictate the pace. Hand of God also lets Chen globally counter-initiate on any gank attempt, completely undermining a well-placed setup.
