How this matchup plays
Controlling the map early often feels like a constant tug-of-war. Puck has the area-of-effect damage with Illusory Orb and Waning Rift to clear out Chen’s entire army, stalling any attempt to take early towers. Using those spells on creeps, however, means Puck is burning mana that could otherwise be used for ganks or fighting heroes. This can create windows for Chen to use Penitence and his global presence to secure kills elsewhere on the map while Puck is busy defending. The game depends on which hero executes their plan better: Puck by containing the push and scaling up, or Chen by snowballing his other lanes.
