Chen Counters (7.41)
Who counters Chen in Dota 2 7.41? Heroes Chen is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over 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 (63.2%), Brewmaster (59.8%) and Timbersaw (58.6%) all lose to his early creep aggression. Chen is countered by illusion/summon clear and divers: Phantom Lancer (41.2%) out-bodies his creeps, while Crystal Maiden (42.1%), Earth Spirit (42.2%) and Dawnbreaker (42.7%) 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.
