How Chen and Magnus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Magnus win 39.09% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 110 matches.
Fighting for control of the map often feels like a losing battle with this pair. Chen wants to group up with his dominated creeps and take objectives very early, putting pressure on the enemy before they have key items. Magnus, however, is almost entirely focused on farming his own Blink Dagger during this same period. He needs to leverage Empower to clear jungle stacks and accelerate his item progression, which is a solo activity. This means that when Chen makes a move, Magnus is often on the other side of the map, unable to contribute. The team is effectively split, unable to commit to either Chen's early aggression or Magnus's late-game teamfight plan around Reverse Polarity.
