How this matchup plays

Trying to build early map pressure with Chen is a risky game against Troll Warlord. Every converted creep Chen brings to lane is an extra source of gold and experience that accelerates Troll's farm, undermining Chen's entire tempo-based strategy. If a fight breaks out, Troll Warlord can activate Battle Trance to ignore the army of summons, run directly at the fragile Chen, and eliminate him with ease. We don't see this matchup much, so there might be a specific creep build or timing for Chen that fares better, but it seems difficult on paper.
