 * Chen has no any area-of-effect spells to deal with Broodmother's spiderlings and often must rely on his creeps to take care of them.
 * Broodmother has all abilities to counter Chen's gameplay: to kill Chen's creeps,  to disrupt jungles,  to cause Chen's basic attacks miss, and  to pick him off.
 * Broodmother is strong against heroes that have only single-targeted spells, an Chen is not exception.


 * Although Chen can endure while he sticks with his creeps, that is not enough to defend, or completely useless against Luna since she can clear creeps with
 * In addition, Luna often carries Black King Bar which nullifies his damage output.


 * Not only Clinkz can instantly kill one of Chen's creeps with and quickly pick Chen off with his massive damage output. Additionally, the bonus health granted by Holy Persuasion will work against Chen, as it will give Clinkz more health and damage through Death Pact.
 * In addition, Clinkz often carries Orchid Malevolence which increases his damage output, what is worse is that he can also upgrade it into Bloodthorn that makes every basic attack deal critical damage.


 * Nyx Assassin doesn't care how many creeps you have, all he will do is just to sneak around chen with his damage burst.
 * Chen has no ways to detect Nyx Assassin's ultimate ability.
 * In addition, Nyx Assassin often carries Dagon which increases his damage output and also quickly kills him or any of his ally before he has time to use Hand of God.

 * Elder Titan's ability gives him bonus damage for every creep that passes which is under Chen's control.
 * His Echo Stomp and Earth Splitter will often kill him or any of his allies quickly before he has time to use Hand of God.


 * Shadow Fiend if has maximum souls and Shadow Blade can sneak upon Chen and kill him with his ultimate before he even realises that.

 * slows Chen and amplifies damage that Batrider can inflict.

 * Batrider is very dangerous counter to Chen in every way, and it gets worse he gets Blink Dagger, and he will.


 * Ancient Apparition can just laugh at Chen because his prevents healing from both  and the fountain, preventing them from healing even if Chen sends allies back to base with.
 * Additionally, if he sees the particle effect of Test of Faith, Ancient Apparition may respond by aiming an Ice Blast at the fountain to kill the hero you are attempting to save.


 * Shadow Shaman's shackles prevent Chen from acting (if Chen is taget).
 * Worse becomes when he brings his allies with him.
