Chen Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Chen in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Chen, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Chen is an early-game push commander who dominates lanes with captured neutral creeps and saves allies globally with Hand of God. He's strong into greedy, low-tempo heroes he out-pushes before they come online: Elder Titan, Brewmaster and Timbersaw all lose to his early creep aggression. Chen is countered by illusion/summon clear and divers: Phantom Lancer out-bodies his creeps, while Crystal Maiden, Earth Spirit and Dawnbreaker punish his fragile frame. Draft tip: Chen is a powerful early-push enabler into slow, greedy drafts; he falls off hard if his early tempo doesn't translate into a won game.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Chen hardest are Wraith King, Phantom Lancer and Broodmother — Chen wins only 41.0%, 41.1% and 41.4% of ranked matches against them.
