How Chen and Kunkka perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Kunkka win 44.24% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 278 matches.
Setting up ganks with this pair can feel a bit redundant. Kunkka is perfectly capable of landing his Torrent combo by himself using X Marks the Spot, so adding Chen's Penitence slow doesn't offer much he didn't already have. Both heroes want to dictate the tempo of the early and mid-game, but their plans don't always align. Chen wants to push with his army and force fights, while Kunkka is often more concerned with finding farm for his own items and landing a key combo. They end up playing parallel games on the same team rather than building off each other's strengths, leading to a lineup that feels less cohesive than it should.
