How this matchup plays
You'd think having an army of creeps would be perfect for surrounding and killing Pangolier, but it rarely works out that way. Trying to body-block him is pointless when Swashbuckle lets him dash right through the whole group. His abilities are also great at clearing out summoned units, which means Chen's army melts away fast in any real fight. A well-timed Rolling Thunder also gives Pangolier a get-out-of-jail-free card that the slow-moving creeps can't do much about. Chen can still contribute with his global heal and by helping his cores, but he has a very hard time dealing with Pangolier directly or keeping his own units safe.
