How this matchup plays
Thinking Chen's army can simply run down Kez is a common trap. While the swarm of creeps is a real threat, Kez isn't a typical carry who has to right-click through everything. His kit is designed to duel, and a well-timed parry can completely negate the initial burst from Chen's main creep, buying enough time to turn and kill a priority target. He's looking to isolate and dispatch, not brawl with the whole group. On the other hand, Chen can succeed by using his weaker summons to bait out Kez's defensive cooldowns before committing his bigger threats. The matchup often comes down to which player can force the other to react first.
