Chen's core mechanic is having an army of creeps to aid him in battle - Alchemist's core mechanic is killing creeps as they yield extra gold. This leaves Chen in an awkward spot as every engagement with Alch could just spiral his netwroth out of control. Alchemist's strong early game allows him to deal with Chen's early game pressure better than most heroes as he can drop an Acid Spray in front of a tower to hinder Chen's push.
