Why this works
Combining a big healing ultimate with a durable initiator seems strong, but the timing is usually off here. When Pangolier uses Rolling Thunder to start a fight, he moves far too quickly for Chen’s army to keep up. This leaves Pangolier isolated deep in the enemy team, often getting focused down before Chen's creeps can contribute any meaningful damage or control. Chen is then forced to use Hand of God reactively to save a single hero who is already out of position, rather than to sustain his team through a coordinated fight. Their core teamfight spells simply don't overlap well, leading to disjointed and ineffective engagements.
