Why this works
Picking both Chen and Tinker forces your team into a split identity from the very start. Chen wants to group his army, apply pressure, and take objectives early, relying on his team to fight alongside his creeps. Tinker fundamentally wants to do the opposite: he avoids fights, farms distant lanes, and needs his team to create space and stack camps for him to accelerate. This leads to awkward games where Chen can't assemble his deathball because a core is missing, and Tinker isn't getting the secure farm he needs because his team isn't playing defensively. Without the lockdown to set up his burst, or a frontliner who can save him when he's caught split-pushing, Tinker finds little support from what Chen offers.
