How this matchup plays
Struggling to build any momentum is the story of this matchup for Chen. Your entire game plan revolves around amassing an army of creeps to pressure objectives, but Venomancer's kit is perfectly designed to neutralize it. A single cast of his area-of-effect poison spells can melt your entire entourage, forcing you back to the jungle to find replacements and completely killing your team’s tempo. While Chen wants to group up and push, Venomancer excels at punishing clumped-up units. He single-handedly stops your pushes, then uses that space to establish his own map control with Plague Wards, turning your signature strength into a liability.
