In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Riki win 52.78% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 36 matches.

Small sample: this pairing has only 36 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

Pushing a tower in the mid-game often exposes this duo's conflicting goals. Chen wants to group up with his creep army and apply pressure as a unit, forcing objectives early. This game plan doesn't align well with what Riki wants to do. Riki needs time and space to farm his core items, using his invisibility to find opportunistic kills and avoid full-on teamfights until he is strong. When Chen's army is at the enemy tower, Riki is frequently better off farming a distant lane instead of contributing to a slow siege. This leaves the team split between two different strategies, making it difficult to coordinate a strong push or a successful gank.
