How Chen and Lina perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Lina win 46.51% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 946 matches.
Trying to group for a mid-game push feels awkward with this pair. Chen wants to hit an early power spike with his dominated creeps and pressure objectives across the map. The problem is that Lina is rarely ready to join that timing. She needs levels and items to make her spell combo threatening, and she farms relatively slowly at the start. Chen's zoo also doesn't provide the hard, reliable lockdown that helps guarantee Lina can land her Light Strike Array. By the time Lina is truly online and capable of deleting heroes, Chen's initial wave of pressure has often passed, leaving the team without a cohesive plan.
