Why this works
Thinking Chen's army can support a charging Primal Beast is a common pitfall. The reality is that Primal Beast dives so deep with Onslaught and Trample that he completely outruns Chen's controlled creeps. This leaves the Beast isolated and vulnerable, an easy target to be collapsed on by the entire enemy team. While Chen can offer a Penitence slow or a global Hand of God, his main contribution—the creep army—is usually still walking up the lane, too far away to matter. Primal Beast wants to cause chaos in the backline, while Chen excels at leading a slow, methodical push. These two playstyles clash, leaving both heroes unable to properly execute their game plan.
