Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Keeper of the Light wins the Chen vs Keeper of the Light matchup: Keeper of the Light beats Chen in 51.60% of 1,847 ranked matches.
Seeing Keeper of the Light on the enemy team might seem like a disaster for Chen's creep-based army, but the matchup is far from one-sided. A well-played Chen doesn't group his army for an easy Illuminate. Instead, he pressures from multiple angles, using a single strong creep to find and lock down the fragile Keeper, whose low health pool makes him vulnerable. On the other hand, a successful Illuminate channel can completely stall Chen's push, and Blinding Light is a great tool for creating space. The outcome really depends on execution: if Chen can get the jump, he wins; if Keeper of the Light can see the push coming, he wins.
