In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Night Stalker win 57.38% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 61 matches.
Small sample: this pairing has only 61 ranked matches in the current window, so its win rate will swing more than deep-sample pairings as new games come in.
Why this works
Assuming these heroes have separate game plans is a common mistake. Chen builds his army for early tower pushes, while Night Stalker is thought of as a solo ganker. In practice, their timings overlap well. As the first night begins and Night Stalker starts hunting isolated targets, Chen is often ready to threaten a tower with his own group. The enemy team is forced to split their attention, and they can rarely deal with both problems at once. A well-timed Hand of God can also save a diving Night Stalker from anywhere on the map, reinforcing that global pressure and letting him play even more aggressively.
