Why this works
Chen's army of creeps from Holy Persuasion wants to group up and pressure towers early. That's his whole window to win the game. The problem is, Anti-Mage can't contribute to that plan at all. He needs to be safely farming lanes and jungle to get his core items online. This forces Chen's team to play four-on-five during their most important timing. By the time Anti-Mage is actually strong enough to join fights, Chen's own power spike from his early creep army has fallen off significantly. They operate on completely different clocks, which makes it hard to build any real momentum together, even with a global Hand of God heal to occasionally save a split-pusher.
