Chen/Counters

Bad against...

 * Enchantress can turn Chen's own creeps against him with, while and  make her difficult to bring down.


 * Earthshaker's massive area-of-effect damage output and disabling power, particularly, can make quick work of Chen and his converted creeps.


 * Chen has low mobility and weakness in battle, so LC can easily defeat him with Duel.

- Storm Hammer: Surely stun Chen, makes him can't escape. - Great Cleave: Clear his creep fast. - Warcry: Add durable to fight with Chen and his creeps. - God's Strength: Chen can't even speak 'All are healed' if he aimed first.
 * All of Sven skill makes Chen facepalm.


 * Timber Chain can catch up / slow Chen.
 * Chakram can clear all creeps of Chen and slow him.


 * 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: Spawn Spiderling to kill Chen's creeps, Spin Web to secure jungles, Incapacitating BIte to cause Chen's basic attacks miss, and Insatiable Hunger to pick him off.
 * Broodmother is strong against heroes that have only single-targeted spells, an Chen is not exception.


 * Although Chen can endure Eclipse while he sticks with his creeps, that is not enough to defend, or completely useless against Luna since she can clear creeps with Moon Glaive Ability.
 * 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.
 * SInce Chen is intelligence hero, Mana Burn will deal huge damage.


 * Razor's Unstable Current will be always triggered by Chen's single-target spells.
 * Chen has no escape mechanisms, so he can be an easy prey for Static Link.


 * Elder Titan's Astral Spirit 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.


 * Naga Siren can make landing of Chen's combo very hard due to being an illusion hero.
 * Ensnare will prevent activating Hand of God, despite not silencing him.


 * Batrider's Firefly can destroy camps, which can make jungling for Chen very difficult.
 * Batrider is very dangerous counter to Chen since his Firefly ability is able to destroy trees, what is worse that he is very scary when 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. (Chen "All are healed?", Ancient Apparition "I think not")


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


 * Jakiro's liquid fire affects both Chen and his creeps.
 * Jakiro can clear the wave of Chen's creeps with his area-of-effect abilities.


 * Same as Nyx Assassin, Chen has no ways to detect Weaver's Shukuchi ability.
 * In addition, he often carries Linken's Sphere which can negate Chen's combo attempts.

Others

Good against...

 * His creep (and Necronomicon) can trigger Techies Land Mine and Stun Mine.

 * Due to Clockwerk's slow damage output, Chen can often save a trapped enemy with.
