How this matchup plays
Picking Pugna into Chen often feels like a direct counter-draft, and for good reason. Chen's entire game revolves around amassing a powerful group of creeps to push towers and control teamfights. Pugna dismantles this strategy with Nether Blast, which can wipe out that whole army very quickly, turning pushes into failures and leaving Chen exposed. To make matters worse, Pugna can use Life Drain on Chen's tankiest creeps, turning the army into a personal healing fountain. It’s a tough dynamic, because when they're on the same team, Chen's army provides the exact kind of frontline a friendly Pugna needs to safely demolish enemy structures.
