Why this works
Setting up for a big teamfight reveals the core issue with this pairing. Tidehunter wants to find the perfect Blink Dagger timing for a decisive Ravage, but Chen’s army of creeps is often too slow or spread out to follow up effectively during the stun. Their timings are misaligned. Chen provides sustained pressure and global saves with Hand of God, but Tidehunter is already incredibly durable thanks to Kraken Shell and doesn't usually need that kind of emergency support. You end up with two heroes who are strong at grouping, but their kits don't combine in a meaningful way, leading to redundant strengths rather than new opportunities.
