Lich
* Chain Frost can bounce to the Spiderlings that Broodmother spawns.
Chen
* Chen's low mobility and lack of AoE abilities makes him an easy target for Broodmother and her Spiderlings.
* Broodmother can easily pick off Chen's creeps with Spawn Spiderlings, and by ambushing them through terrain in her web.
Additional:
* Chen has no area-of-effect spells to deal with Broodmother's spiderlings and must rely on his creeps to take care of them.
* 
Spawn Spiderlings can kill Chen's creeps and spawn spiderlings in their place.
* 
Spin Web allows Broodmother to disrupt Chen's jungling.
* 
Silken Bola will cause Chen and his creeps's attack to miss more often while also making them more vulnerable to magical damage, especially if Broodmother picks 400 AoE Silken Bola talent.
* Broodmother is a natural 
Bloodthorn wielder, which will allow her to prevent Chen from trying to save himself with 
Hand of God while also making him more vulnerable to damage, and when combined with 
Insatiable Hunger, it will spell a quick and certain death for Chen. Bloodthorn's passive ability will also reduce any spell damage Chen tries to inflict with his creeps.
* 
Spinner's Snare from 
Aghanim's Scepter allows Broodmother to create invisible lines on her webs from Spin Web that will root Chen and his creeps, deal damage over time to them and reveal them if they unwittingly steps on them, disrupting Chen's jungling even more while also alerting Broodmother on their attempts to ambush her and her allies.

Shapeshift.
* Chain Frost can bounce to the wolves that Lycan summons.
Additional:
* 
Lich possesses a lot of slows, which Lycan doesn't care about when he Shapeshifts.
* Lich has no in-built escape, which makes him a good target for Lycan.
Chen
* Lycan can clear waves of Chen's creeps with his wolves from 
Summon Wolves, especially once Lycan takes +2 Wolves summoned talent. And even though Chen can convert one of his wolves with 
Holy Persuasion, Lycan can counter this by buying 
Helm of the Overlord to regain control of it. Uncontrollable wolves summoned from 
Aghanim's Shard upgrade Summon Wolves cannot be converted with Holy Persuasion.
* Shapeshift allows him to chase down Chen and kill him easily.
* 
Howl can reduce attack damage of both, Chen and his creeps.
Lich
* Weaver doesn't care much about Lich's slows thanks to 
Shukuchi.
* If he sees Chain Frost is targeting him, he can easily isolate himself with Shukuchi so that it stops bouncing around.
* Unless Lich bursts Weaver immediately, Lich has no hard disables or silences to prevent him from using 
Time Lapse.
Chen
* Weaver can easily kill Chen's creeps and kite Chen with 
The Swarm and Shukuchi.
* Neither Chen nor his converted creeps have burst damage at all, so Weaver will always have plenty of time to save himself with Time Lapse or his allies with Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Time Lapse.

Mars, 
Medusa, 
Outworld Destroyer, 
Phoenix, 
Puck,

Brain Sap to easily kill Chen's creeps and by buying either 
Gleipnir or 
Mjollnir.
* 
Fiend's Grip can disable Chen or any of his allies and often finish them before he can save them with Hand of God. And to make things worse, Chen has no way to cancel Fiend's Grip on his own, and must rely on outside from {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} under his control.
Lich
* The haste provided by 
Dark Seer's 
Surge or a {Rune:Haste} renders your slows ineffective.
Chen
* Dark Seer's 
Vacuum and 
Ion Shell can clear a wave of Chen's Creeps effectively.

Penitence, allowing Dark Seer to easily escape from Chen and his creeps.
* Dark Seer's full combo from Dark Seer's Vacuum, 
Wall of Replica and 
Normal Punch from Aghanim's Scepter can often kill Chen or any of his allies before he can save them with Hand of God.

Techies, 
Rubick
Chen
* Chen's fragility and low mobility make him an enticing 
Duel target.
* 
Overwhelming Odds and 
Moment of Courage can take advantage of converted creeps's numbers.

Void Spirit, 
Storm Spirit, 
Ember Spirit, 
Earth Spirit, 
Spirit Breaker.
Chen
* 
Grave Chill can heavily slow down Chen and boost Visage and his familiars's attack speed and movement speed.
* Chen's Holy Persuasion cannot convert Visage's familiars from 
Summon Familiars at all, not even when upgraded with Aghanim's Shard that allows Chen to use it on ancient creeps as Visage's familiars are treated as creep-heroes, which could put Chen in disadvantage against Visage if his creeps die.
* Skilled Visage can buy Bloodthorn to prevent Chen from any chance of retaliating or saving himself with Hand of God and Gleipnir to clear waves of Chen's creeps and prevent them from escaping. This can get even better if Visage has access to 
Silent as the Grave ability from Aghanim's Scepter that will allow Visage and his familiars to be invisible, which they can use either to escape from Chen or to prepare a deadly surprise to him.
Chen
*

* 
Haunt can find Chen anywhere on the map, no matter where he is.
Chen
* Aphotic Shield can nullify Chen's combo, while clearing Chen's creeps simultaneously.
Lich
* Lich does not pose a big threat to Zeus in teamfights, as his spells don't have great cast range and Zeus should be too far back for a 
Chain Frost to bounce among him and his allies.
* Lich has a low health pool, allowing Zeus to burst him down quickly.
Chen
* 
Paralyzing Cask will repetively bounce between Chen and his converted creeps every single time. This can get even better if Witch Doctor buys Aghanim's Scepter that will allow his 
Death Ward to bounce between Chen and his converted creeps.
* Paralyzing Cask, 
Maledict and Death Ward combination will often kill Chen's allies before he can save them with Hand of God. And to make things better, Chen has no way to cancel Fiend's Grip on his own, and must rely on outside from {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} under his control.
* 
Voodoo Switcheroo from Aghanim's Shard cannot be interrupted by Chen's creeps at all because Witch Doctor is hidden for it's duration.
Additional:

Burning Barrage from Aghanim's Shard.
* Clinkz can kill Chen or any of his allies with his physical damage burst from 
Strafe, 
Tar Bomb and Burning Barrage from Aghanim's Shard before he can use Hand of God. Especially when Clinkz has Gleipnir and

* 
Ensnare will prevent Chen from escaping.
* With Aghanim's Scepter, Naga Siren can get access to 
Reel In, which can separate Chen from his creeps and draw him closer to Naga Siren and her team to finish her off. To make things worse, Chen has no way to cancel Reel In on his own, and must rely on outside from {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} under his control.
* Carry or Nuker Naga Siren can often finish off Support Chen before he can have a chance to activate Hand of God.

Chen
* 
Shackles prevents Chen from acting, and damages him while healing Shadow Shaman, also allowing Shadow Shaman's allies to kill him faster. Aghanim's Shard upgraded Shackles can also summon four more 
Mass Serpent Wards to attack Chen while he is disabled. And to make things worse, Chen has no way to cancel Shackles on his own, and must rely on {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} creeps under his control to be able to do so.

Chen
* 
Heartstopper Aura can do a decent damage overtime to Chen's High-Health-Creep Army, and Chen does not have any source of burst damage to fight back against Necrophos.

Divine Favor and Hand of God.
* Necrophos often builds Radiance, which combined with

* Chen has no escape mechanisms, so he will often be unable to escape from slows applied with 
Ghoul Frenzy.

* 
Infest allows Lifestealer to infest into one of Chen's converted creeps and take control of it, which allows Lifestealer to either escape from Chen or surprise him. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Infest can disarm Chen and allow Lifestealer to attack Chen from within, even if Chen is spell immune.
Chen
* 
Ice Blast can prevent healing from Hand of God and kill Chen's creeps.
* Ancient Apparition can easily harass Chen on lane with 
Chilling Touch due to it's high range and damage. This can get even worse if Ancient Apparition buys Aghanim's Scepter and combines it with items that can give him bonus attack damage and attack speed.

Fire Spirits can kill Chen's allies before he can use Hand of God.

Chen
* Mirana can instantly kill creeps with Sacred Arrow, making her decent at crippling the armies of Chen or 
Enchantress.
Chen
* Heroes with evasion will cause Chen and his creeps to struggle in attacking them and will waste much of Penitence's power: Phantom Assassin, Windranger, Hoodwink.
Chen
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damage can make quick work of Chen's converted creeps and at same time gain farm: Magnus, Jakiro, Shadow Fiend, Kunkka, Luna, Dragon Knight, Medusa, Alchemist.

Lich
* Heroes with powerful nuke can waste their precious abilites on her Refraction during a ganking attempt or chaos combat: Lich, Lina, Sniper, Outworld Destroyer Zeus
Chen
* Heroes like Enchantress and Chen, or heroes that make use of 
Helm of the Dominator are weak to Crystal Maiden, as Frostbite can do wonders against 
Enchant, Holy Persuasion, or dominated creeps. Careful though, as an army of carefully controlled creeps (Enchantress and Chen) can hold many stuns that will cancel Freezing Field.
Additional:
* 
Frostbite roots and disarms Chen's creeps for 10 seconds.
* Crystal Maiden has a lot of AOE damage between 
Crystal Nova and 
Freezing Field to clear Chen's creeps out side and during team fights.

Chen
* Heroes that can easily bypass Chen's creeps to get to Chen: Riki, Tusk, Clinkz, Sniper, Slark, Phantom Assassin, Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker.
Chen
* Heroes with channeling spells, for Chen has no disables on his own, hates buying disabling items and his creeps are often not fast enough to cancel them: Enigma's Black Hole, Witch Doctor's Death Ward, 
Shadow Shaman's Shackles, Lion's 
Mana Drain, Bane's Fiend's Grip, 
Pudge's 
Dismember, Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, Pugna's Life Drain, 
Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian, and Naga Siren's Reel In from Aghanim's Scepter.

* Heroes that can easily bypass Chen's creeps to get to Chen: Riki, Tusk, Clinkz, Sniper, Slark, Phantom Assassin, Void Spirit, Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, Earth Spirit, Spirit Breaker.
Lich
* Heroes who lack burst damage will have a hard time against Mars: Phantom Lancer, 
Nature's Prophet, Lich.
Chen
* Venomancer's damage over time can force Chen to use Hand of God prematurely, potentially wasting a chance to save his allies during a teamfight.
* Venomancer's 
Poison Nova, 
Venomous Gale and 
Plague Ward can easily kill Chen's creeps.
Chen
* Any hero that can outrange Plague Ward can neutralize them without putting themselves at risk of receiving Poison Sting: 
Arc Warden, Chen, Clinkz, 
Drow Ranger, Lina, 
Mirana, Nature's Prophet, Pugna and Sniper.
* Special mention to heroes that outrange Plague Ward after obtaining talents that increase attack range.
Chen
* Luna's 
Moon Glaives combined with 
Lunar Blessing can easily kill Chen's creeps.
* 
Eclipse can be used after Luna clears all of Chen's creeps to easily kill Chen or any of his allies before he can save them with Hand of God. This can get even worse if Luna buys Aghanim's Scepter. And Chen is not a hero that likes to buy 
Black King Bar to counter this problem.
Additional:
* Luna's Moon Glaives combined with Lunar Blessing can easily kill Chen's creeps.
* Eclipse can be used after Luna clears all of Chen's creeps to easily kill Chen or any of his allies before he can save them with Hand of God. This can get even worse if Luna buys Aghanim's Scepter. And Chen is not a hero that likes to buy Black King Bar to counter this problem.
Chen
* Heroes that create illusions: 
Spectre, 
Shadow Demon, Phantom Lancer, Naga Siren, Chaos Knight, Terrorblade) or bring other units into the fight (such as Nature's Prophet, 
Lone Druid, Chen, Enchantress, 
Meepo and Arc Warden) can cause Eclipse to strike the illusions/summons unintentionally. However, in many cases Moon Glaives can resolve this issue and eliminate them before activating Eclipse, but that will require lots of farming for right-click items.
Chen
* Doom can easily kill Chen's creeps and obtain their abilities with 
Devour.
* 
Scorched Earth's area-of-effect can clear multiple of Chen's creeps at once.
* 
Doom renders Chen completely helpless, and unable to save himself or his allies with Hand of God. Aghanim's Scepter upgraded Doom also allows Doom to cast Doom on himself and disable both, Chen and his creeps around him.
Chen
* Heroes with the ability to heal allies, or those with good defensive abilities: Chen, Dazzle, 
Io, Oracle, 
Omniknight, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, 
Abaddon, etc.
Lich
* Chain Frost can deliver high amounts of damage to Arc and his clone
Chen
* Chen in the early game is a faster pusher than Arc Warden until Arc Warden buys Maelstrom.
Chen
* Due to Clockwerk's very low damage output, Chen can often save a trapped enemy hero with Hand of God.
* Penitence's attack speed amplification allows Chen and his allies to kill Clockwerk quickly after his initiation.
* Chen's creeps can be used to block Hookshot initiation from all sides, as well as distribute Battery Assault's damage.
Additional:
* Due to Clockwerk's slow damage output, Chen can often save a trapped ally with Hand of God.
* Clockwerk does not have any source of damage to deal with Chen Creeps.
* Chen can use his creeps to block Clockwerk's attempts to use 
Hookshot.
Lich
* 
Frost Blast and Chain Frost can kite Troll Warlord effectively.
* 
Frost Shield can single-handedly waste most of the duration of Battle Trance, due to the extreme resistance to physical damage Frost Shield provides. In addition, Troll Warlord is incapable of switching targets during Battle Trance, so he cannot pick an easier target.
* Troll Warlord has little to no ability to regenerate HP, so Frost Blast together with Frost Shield can harass him effectively.
Lich
* Lich's Chain Frost forces Io to either give up providing buff to his ally with 
Tether or suffer devastating damage with his tethered ally.
* Lich can easily use 
Sinister Gaze to disable Io from getting away with Tether or 
Relocate.
Lich
* 
Poof combo puts all of the Meepos very close together, making them vulnerable to Frost Blast's AoE slow and multiple bounces from Chain Frost.
Lich
* Chain Frost can deliver high amounts of damage to Lone itself and his bear if they do not separate fast from each other.
Additional:
* Chain Frost will bounce between Lone Druid and his bear, forcing them to separate or suffer high amounts of damage.
Chen
* Even though Chen can use Holy Persuasion on creeps controlled by Enchant. Enchantress can also use Enchant on Chen's creeps.
* Aghanim's Shard gives Enchantress 
Little Friends ability, which she can use to turn all of Chen's creeps against him for a short time when casted on him.
* 
Impetus's high burst damage can often kill any of Chen's allies before he can save them with Hand of God
Additional:
* Enchantress can turn Chen's own creeps against him with Enchant. The creeps still keep the health buff Holy Persuasion granted them. Aghanim's Shard gives Enchantress Little Friends ability, which allows her to turn multiple of Chen's creeps all at once against him.
* 
Untouchable and 
Nature's Attendants make her difficult to kill.
Lich
* Heroes with nukes: Bane, Lich, Lion, Skywrath Mage
Chen
* Chen can use Holy Persuasion on creeps controlled by Enchant.
* Ironically, Enchantress can Enchant Chen's creeps.
Lich
* Supports who can slow him to the point Trample does very little damage in the lane are also not fun: Lich, 
Ogre Magi, Winter Wyvern.
Lich
* Heroes with large magical AoE damage will fare well against Omniknight: Lich, 
Ancient Apparition, Jakiro, Disruptor.
Chen
* Heroes with strong area-of-effect damage can make quick work of Chen's converted creeps and at same time gain farm: Magnus, Jakiro, Shadow Fiend, Kunkka, Luna, Dragon Knight, Medusa, Alchemist.
Lich
* Lich's constant slows with Frost Blast and Chain Frost will slow Dragon Knight to a crawl, especially in a crowded teamfight.
Chen
* Illusion and heroes with summons are difficult to kill with Chen's single-target offensive spells: Terrorblade, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Broodmother, Naga Siren, Lycan, Visage, Beastmaster, Warlock, Wraith King. And even though Chen can convert enemy summons with Holy Persuasion, their much greater numbers will often overwhelm Chen and his creeps.
Lich
* Chain Frost can eliminate Chaos Knight's 
Phantasm army, especially after he clumped up using 
Reality Rift.
* Frost Shield will heavily reduce his army's effectiveness.
Additional:
* Lich's Chain Frost, especially after obtaining its respective talent that provides unlimited bounces, can take out all of Chaos Knight's illusions quickly.
* An Aghanim's Scepter-upgraded Sinister Gaze can hypnotize Chaos Knight and his illusions while also draining his already low mana pool.
Chen
* Illusion and heroes with summons are difficult to kill with Chen's single-target offensive spells: Terrorblade, Phantom Lancer, Chaos Knight, Broodmother, Naga Siren, Lycan, Visage, Beastmaster, Warlock, Wraith King. And even though Chen can convert enemy summons with Holy Persuasion, their much greater numbers will often overwhelm Chen and his creeps.
Chen
* Heroes with no stun and escape abilities such as Terrorblade are vulnerable as Chen can easily gank lanes from the jungle early game and score kills using Penitence.
Chen
* Heroes with channeling spells, for Chen has no disables on his own, hates buying disabling items and his creeps are often not fast enough to cancel them: Enigma's Black Hole, Witch Doctor's Death Ward, Shadow Shaman's Shackles, Lion's Mana Drain, Bane's Fiend's Grip, Pudge's Dismember, Crystal Maiden's Freezing Field, Pugna's Life Drain, Dawnbreaker's Solar Guardian, and Naga Siren's Reel In from Aghanim's Scepter.
Chen
* Heroes with many summons or illusions are much harder to catch with Meat Hook: Nature's Prophet, Phantom Lancer, Chen.
Additional:
* 
Rot is not very effective against Chen's creeps.
* Chen can use his creeps to cover him or his allies from any attempts of 
Meat Hook.
* {U:Centaur Conqueror} or {U:Mud Golem} under Chen's control can interrupt Dismember.
Chen
* Elder Titan's 
Astral Spirit ability gives him bonus damage for each converted creep it passes through.
* 
Echo Stomp and 
Earth Splitter will often kill him or any of his allies quickly before he has time to use Hand of God.
Lich
* Frost Shield helps offset the armor reduction from Natural Order.
Lich
* Lich is going to have a hard time nuking Huskar because of his high health regeneration from
Berserker's Blood.
Life Break and 
Burning Spear.
Armlet of Mordiggian, even a maxed out Frost Blast will struggle to finish Huskar off.
* Lich is a squishy support without an escape mechanism, making Lich an easy kill thanks to
* Once Huskar has
Chen
*
Inner Fire can damage and disarm Chen's creeps.
Burning Spear's high damage over time that grows stronger the more it stacks can force Chen to use Hand of God prematurely, potentially wasting a chance to save his allies during a teamfight.
Berserker's Blood makes it impossible for Chen and his creeps to kill Huskar.
Life Break can deal huge damage to Chen and slow him down.
