Why this works
Committing to this pair is a bet on controlling the early game pace. Chen can provide a mobile frontline with his creeps, which helps Drow Ranger keep her distance and maintain Marksmanship damage. A well-timed Penitence adds a significant slow and damage amp for Drow to focus someone down, while Hand of God offers a global save for a fragile carry. The main issue is that Chen's zoo isn't a guaranteed fortress. Heroes with strong area damage or coordinated dives can blow through the creeps and get on top of Drow Ranger anyway. Success often hinges on Chen finding the right neutral creeps for lockdown, because Drow offers none herself.
