Why this works
Putting these two supports together creates a lot of problems that a little extra mana from Arcane Aura can’t solve. Both Chen and Crystal Maiden are slow, fragile, and need levels early to be effective. This often leads to them competing for the same jungle farm, starving each other and leaving their cores exposed. Neither hero has the mobility or durability to save the other if they get caught. A Crystal Maiden trying to channel Freezing Field gets no real protection from Chen's army, and his slow push is easily stalled by picking off his squishy partner. They simply share too many weaknesses without offering complementary strengths.
