How this matchup plays
Trying to build up an army as Chen feels like a waste of time against a Shadow Shaman. Every time you show up for a fight or to pressure a tower, your valuable creeps get vaporized by a single Ether Shock. This leaves Chen without his primary tool for pressure and damage. Beyond that, Shadow Shaman's own kit is a direct threat. His long-duration disables like Hex and Shackles make it easy to catch and kill Chen, rendering his entire army inert. Even when it comes to taking objectives, Shadow Shaman's Mass Serpent Ward is a much more reliable and difficult-to-stop threat to structures.
