Small sample: this pairing has only 52 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
Controlling the map early proves difficult because these heroes pull the game in two different directions. Chen wants to build a creep army and group up to pressure towers, forcing objectives and teamfights with his units. Templar Assassin operates on a different clock; she wants to accelerate her farm with ancient stacks and then use Psionic Traps to set up solo pickoffs. Forcing TA to join Chen's five-man deathball feels inefficient for her kit, while Chen playing around TA’s solo ganks neuters his own pushing power. This strategic clash often leaves the team feeling split and unable to build momentum off either hero's timing.
