How Chen and Hoodwink perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Hoodwink win 44.83% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 406 matches.
Trying to build an early lead with this duo can go either way. On one hand, Chen provides an army of creeps that can overwhelm a lane or set up ganks, creating opportunities for Hoodwink to land a Bushwhack. The combined damage and control from this setup can be enough to secure kills and take early towers. The problem is that both heroes rely heavily on this initial momentum. If their early aggression is stopped or they fall behind, the team composition can feel fragile. Neither hero provides a big, straightforward teamfight ultimate to rely on for a comeback, making the entire game feel dependent on the success of those first few minutes.
