Why this works
Playing for two different timings can be a real problem. Chen wants to group his creeps and pressure towers very early, forcing objectives and creating map control. This is his strongest window. Alchemist, on the other hand, wants that same early-to-mid game period to accelerate his own farm with Greevil's Greed, usually away from the team. This forces a difficult choice: either Alchemist has to join fights before he has key items, hurting his own economy, or the team effectively fights four-on-five when Chen is at his peak. The two heroes want to play the game at completely different speeds, making it hard to coordinate a cohesive strategy and build a lead.
