In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Dark Seer win 50.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 28 matches.

Small sample: this pairing has only 28 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.

Why this works

Thinking you can put Ion Shell on Chen's army for a big push is a common trap. The reality is much clunkier. Dark Seer excels when he can Vacuum enemies into a tight group for his Wall of Replica, but Chen's controlled creeps are best used for surrounding and body-blocking individual targets. Their game plans actively work against each other. By the time Dark Seer's teamfight abilities are at their peak, Chen’s early-game creeps are already losing their impact. It’s not a common pairing, so there might be a specific strategy that works.
