How this matchup plays

Thinking Templar Assassin can clear Chen's army with a few Psi Blades is a common mistake. A creep wave stands still, but Chen's units are a gank squad. Her Refraction is meant to block big, single instances of damage, but it gets shredded instantly by a pack of neutral creeps all hitting at once. As soon as those charges are gone, she's a slow, fragile target for Penitence and a follow-up stun from a Centaur or Troll. It's not just about lane. Chen's Hand of God can globally save anyone Templar Assassin tries to burst, neutralizing her ability to get the solo pickoffs she needs to snowball.
