How this matchup plays

Controlling the map with an early creep army becomes incredibly difficult against a Hoodwink. She completely negates Chen's main strength by clearing his dominated creeps from a safe distance. One well-placed Acorn Shot can wipe out the weaker units, and a Bushwhack near some trees can lock down the entire group while her team follows up. This forces Chen to constantly spend time and mana rebuilding his army instead of pushing towers or securing objectives. Without that early tempo, Chen falls off hard, and Hoodwink’s ability to safely and efficiently dismantle his game plan is the main reason why. She can even escape a bad spot with Scurry if things go wrong.
