How Beastmaster and Chen perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Chen win 43.40% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 288 matches.
Stacking Beastmaster's summons on top of Chen's army of creeps puts all your eggs in one basket. This strategy is extremely vulnerable to opponents with strong area-of-effect spells, as a single well-placed ultimate can wipe out the core contribution of both heroes at once. The game plan for this duo is very one-dimensional: group up early and push towers. If that initial timing is broken or countered, the draft has very little to fall back on. Both Beastmaster and Chen have similar power spikes and offer limited scaling, making the team predictable and easy to shut down if the first big push fails.
