How this matchup plays
Fighting against a Zeus can feel frustrating because your creep army melts. His Arc Lightning bounces through all your controlled units, clearing them out before they can do much damage to heroes or buildings. This makes it hard for Chen to apply his usual map pressure and take objectives. While Hand of God can sometimes counteract the global damage from Thundergod's Wrath, the constant need to rebuild the army is a drain on momentum. If Zeus gets caught out, he dies easily to the very creeps he's trying to clear, but from a safe distance, he makes it very difficult for Chen's strategy to work as intended.
