Its really hard to play chen in low mmr bracket...
You can play as pos 4/5( i personally prefer 4) get oov as first item along with a bunch of clarities and a sod, then rush medallion.
2-1-2 laning is a must if you are playing chen, preferably start in the offlane to fuck up their carry, force them to trilane it and create space for ur carry and mid, try getting a satyr or hellbear as ur first creep, ur least priority creep is the wildkin, send the creep to mid to harass the enemy mid, spam spells, right click him, position urself near the large camp of the offlane, when the creep is about to die, dominate a new one, start harassing their carry, or even a supporf cuz nobody can trade hits with u at lvl 1.
Dont get an early test of faith, put 2 points on holy penitence cuz it provides setup, by the time u hit lvl 3, its ideal to start taking the tower, assuming you have killed them at least twice. Constantly harassing the carry is ideal, take towers early to limit their farming space. If they decide to abandon the lane and their carry is just leeching xp, while the supporfs rotate to mid or offlane, you have 2 choices, continue pushing till tier 2 or help ur team take the outer towers and help them in their lanes.
Its ideal to end as early as possible, because you start to fall off the later the game goes by, by the time that you destroy all outer towers, get roshan, and start sieging hg.
Also one final note, ask ur team to pick heroes that come online fast like viper, brew, tide, bb, jugg, drow etc. and a support partner that can effectively zone out the enemy offlaner like shaman, bane, sky etc.

Hello! I'm Bazooka Joe, a 2k scrub who just started to play DotA 2 a month ago. What started as a bad joke from sone of my buddies turned out great for me when i asked them what is a good starter hero for this game. Those douchebags suggested me to play as Chen and being the gullible dumbass that i am, started to spam the hero. :)
The thing is i really loved his playstyle since in other games that i play i mainly play summoners or characters with pets. And since i love to play RTS games as well, microing a few units is not that hard for me compared to other DotA 2 veterans.
Enough about the backstory. I just want to ask some of you guys who has experience playing this hero some advice and tips on how to improve my performance. Any advice would be appreciated. :)
