In Dota 2 7.41e, Chen and Zeus win 44.16% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 77 matches.

Small sample: this pairing has only 77 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

Trying to take a mid-game fight with this lineup can feel disjointed. Chen brings a frontline army of creeps that want to run at the enemy and apply physical pressure, looking for an opening to push a tower. Zeus, on the other hand, wants to sit far back and deliver huge bursts of magical damage from a safe distance. The problem is that neither hero really sets up the other. Chen’s creeps don’t offer the lockdown needed to guarantee Zeus’s damage lands, and Zeus's global Thundergod's Wrath doesn't directly empower Chen's push. They end up playing two separate games on the same map, rarely amplifying each other's strengths.
