How this matchup plays
Trying to execute a slow push with a creep army runs directly into Io's game plan. Relocate allows Io and a core to pick off isolated heroes, forcing Chen's team to constantly react and break their formation. This fundamentally undermines the deathball strategy Chen enables. In teamfights, the hero Io tethers often has enough damage to quickly clear the persuaded creeps, neutralizing a huge part of Chen's value. Even Hand of God can struggle to save someone from the focused burst of a Relocate gank. Chen wants to methodically take the map with his team, while Io wants to break the game open with fast, mobile ganks.
