How this matchup plays
Fighting inside Mars's Arena of Blood often turns into a messy affair. Chen can easily flood the coliseum with his creeps, which body block spears and generally cause chaos for Mars's controlled teamfight. Hand of God also provides a direct answer to the burst damage Mars tries to inflict on a trapped ally. On the other hand, a good Mars can use God's Rebuke to clear the creep wave and doesn't mind the extra bodies if it means trapping Chen himself. Interestingly, their kits clash even on the same team, as Chen's army can similarly disrupt his own allies inside the tight confines of the Arena. The matchup ends up being a test of execution.
