How this matchup plays

Picking Chen into an enemy Riki is a huge gamble for your draft. Riki’s kit seems designed to dismantle everything Chen wants to do. A single Tricks of the Trade can wipe out Chen's entire creep army, completely neutralizing his ability to push or teamfight. Beyond that, Riki's permanent invisibility forces an unsustainable investment in sentries just so Chen can safely farm the jungle to get his army in the first place. Chen has no reliable escape for when Riki decides to go on him with a Blink Strike, and Hand of God isn't fast enough to save himself from the burst. He can't build his army, he can't control the map, and he can't survive ganks.
