How this matchup plays

Playing against a Spectre as Chen can feel constricting. Spectre's ability to use Haunt to jump on an isolated target is a direct threat to how Chen wants to play the game. Chen often finds himself positioned away from his team to manage his creep army and push lanes, which makes him a prime target. He's fragile and his creeps are often too slow to respond if a Spectre illusion catches him out. This forces him to play much more defensively. The advantage is only slight, however, because a well-timed Hand of God from Chen can save whomever Spectre actually decides to jump on. It becomes a game of cat-and-mouse where Spectre pressures Chen's positioning all game.
