Why this works
Pairing a global heal with a damage-over-time hero seems like a solid plan on paper, but in practice, Chen and Venomancer share too many of the same weaknesses. Neither hero offers reliable lockdown, making it very easy for mobile enemies to run at the back lines and kill Venomancer before his spells have a major impact. Chen’s Hand of God provides a great burst of healing, but it doesn't solve the core problem of Veno having no escape. Both heroes apply pressure slowly over time—one with creeps, the other with wards and poison—but without the burst damage or control to secure kills, they often get overwhelmed before their strategy can come together.
