Why this works
Pushing an objective together can feel powerful, as Chen's converted creeps combined with Shadow Shaman's Mass Serpent Ward will melt buildings. The lockdown from Hex and Shackles also secures kills for the army. However, both heroes are fragile and need to play aggressively to have an impact, which can backfire. They offer a lot of single-target control and push, but little in the way of teamfight presence or defensive tools. If the initial push stalls or the enemy team can coordinate a gank on either hero, their shared game plan falls apart quickly, making the whole strategy feel a bit risky.
