Why this works
Playing against this duo often feels less threatening than it should on paper. Skywrath Mage needs reliable, hard lockdown to guarantee his damage, and Chen simply doesn't provide it. The slows from Penitence or a dominated creep aren't enough to hold a target inside a full Mystic Flare. In teamfights, both heroes are extremely fragile and want to position far in the back. This often creates a lineup that lacks a durable frontline, making it easy for enemies to dive and burst both Chen and the equally vulnerable Skywrath. They end up competing for safe space rather than creating opportunities for one another.
