How this matchup plays
Focusing a Nyx Assassin with Chen's army is a recipe for disaster. A single use of Spiked Carapace can stun all of your creeps at once, completely disabling Chen’s main source of damage and control in a fight. This interaction alone makes ganks and teamfights incredibly difficult. Beyond that, Nyx's whole playstyle is a problem. Mana Burn targets Chen's reliance on a large mana pool for his key saves and army management, while Vendetta makes him an easy target to find and kill. Nyx Assassin has all the tools to dismantle Chen's game plan from start to finish, making it hard to ever build momentum.
