How Chen and Death Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Death Prophet win 44.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 261 matches.
Trying to group up for a mid-game push often reveals the problem here. Both Chen and Death Prophet want to lead a siege, creating a one-dimensional strategy that is easy for opponents to anticipate and counter. The core issue is a shared lack of reliable, targeted lockdown. Death Prophet can land a big silence, and Chen's creeps might have a stun, but it's not enough to hold slippery heroes in place. Mobile enemies can simply walk away from an Exorcism, kite the army, and wait for the push to fall apart on its own. This leaves the team with two heroes who have similar timers but lack the tools to force the decisive fight they both need.
