7/29/2025 - After this patch Barrel is a bit more reliable, they changed knockback to travel slower + barrel speed is a bit faster after hitting a hero now so you can pick barrel vs immobile targets and it can be good.

All you need to know about every build and talent for Chen! Lots of Chen specific tips and tricks and playstyle explanations as well!

Hi Fan, first of all, nice guides! I especially like when you explain/compare value of talents (like in this video with Gift of the Ox). Would it be possible in future videos shortly touch upon this subject, if there is some talent that is often picked by players but actually gets less value than some other talent on the tier would? I like theorycrafting and pro insight in relative talent strength gives nice food for thought =) Second question is if you could also include information about the stronger/weaker maps for the particular hero, perhaps in case of sololaners also favorable/unfavorable matchup? Keep up the good work, love your content!

Sure, I'll try to keep it going in future videos, and yeah if a hero is much better on certain maps I'll mention it. Chen is pretty decent on every map I'd say so no worries about maps for this one

I would like to add that Brewmaster's Balance falls off a little in Q build since QWW doesn't put you on 50 brew anymore since with Q4 your Q now costs 0, so you can't easily get both benefits at the same time anymore. Enough to share does however get more value with the Quest at 1 since you can basically perma-drink thanks to the cdr so if you just wanna fight for a long time and sustain your team that's great fun! Also fun to 80% slow an annoying Overwatch mosquito though.

Hey, Fan! What do you base on your decision when choosing between the 2 builds? How much cc do you think is too much for autoattack build where you would consider Q build? Also what do you think about the spell power reduction talent on lvl 4 if the enemy team has a spell damage heavy comp? Would you still recommend the 'Accumulating flame'? Lot of questions :D Thank you for the content. :)

fanhots

If every hero on the other team has at least 1 CC that interrupts you from attacking, that would probably be too much. Generally you should know from playing the game, if you are getting enough AA's to kill things its an AA game, if you are constantly being CC'd and nothing dies to your AA then it was not an AA game. Spell power reduction on level 4 is ok, then you rely more on your team to do damage as you lose a ton of damage from not having accumulating flame. If your team is reliable it can be good.

Hi Fan, great vid. I've never really gotten the hang of Chen before. What are some considerations when you're drafting a Chen? Besides Samuro, are there other really bad solo lane match ups? Just in the last few quick matches of using your auto attack build and using the tips from this vid, I feel like I'm actually functioning as the hero was intended. And not just clown fiesta flailing around.

I think chen is fine vs most other heroes, some of the other solo laners will waveclear faster than you but in that case you can just fight them nonstop to make it hard for them to double soak properly.

Hi, after the buffs you were thinking about putting Chen in tier S, what is your opinion now (I see it's still A)? Thx

fanhots

I think its A still, it does not have good waveclear speed compared to the other S tier solo laners, so he can fall behind in double soak which is a big problem on 3 lane maps. That is why I did not move him to S
