How Chen and Ember Spirit perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Ember Spirit win 45.31% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 437 matches.
Grouping up for an early push with Chen's army often feels awkward for an Ember Spirit. Ember wants to use his mobility to split the map, farm aggressively, and join fights from unexpected angles with Fire Remnant. He doesn't get much value from a slow siege behind a wall of creeps; his kit is built for skirmishes and clearing waves, not sustained tower pressure. While a global Hand of God can save a diving Ember, it's not enough to make up for the conflicting game plans. The team gets pulled in two different directions, with Chen wanting to group and Ember needing space to hit his own item timings.
