How Chen and Earth Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Earth Spirit win 50.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 318 matches.
Pairing two heroes who want to accomplish the same job can create a redundant draft. Both Chen and Earth Spirit are at their best setting the game’s tempo, roaming to create opportunities for their cores in the first fifteen minutes. The issue is that they fill the same niche. While an Earth Spirit stun can certainly help Chen’s creeps connect, the overall combination often lacks the damage to convert that setup into a kill. This forces your cores to have very specific, high-damage kits. If the early pressure from this duo doesn't translate into a significant lead, your team composition can feel incomplete and struggle to find its footing as the game progresses.
