Chen's good if the enemy team has no mobility whatsoever, which is on a very limited number of occasions.

and no CC. Which limits that even further.

Chen excels in his niche, but his niche is... way too narrow.

Okay, bothered around on him a little bit... He's pretty fun! Feels nicely durable, good disruption, but boy does his damage SUCK though, until you hit 20 and get Burn Notice...

Am I the only one that thinks Burn Notice and Incinerator Gauntlets needs to swap places? Blaze needs the DoT and snare WAY more than he needs the minion damage and laughable AoE increase. Seems like making people wait till 20 to get that talent is kinda mean, seeing as many games wont get there.

Incinerator Gauntlets enables him to lane clear very fast without using up many resources. Having that at lvl 7 means that he is capable of defending pushes from Specialists on his own as well objective pushes (more importantly, the first objective push) on maps like Braxis Holdout and its Zerg waves without wasting every drop of mana to have to teleport back. It is a very solid talent and it's usefulness in both the lanes and on camps are what I prefer for a Warrior tank.

After finally leveling him to level 5, I got to say I don't really enjoy playing him.

He is a good Hero, but he seems very unintuitive to play to me. It seems super weird because he feels more like a "bruiser mage" than a tank or melee brawler. Definitely not my style, but I appreaciate the design.

I think he is a great addition that doesn't feel gimmicky in no shape or form as last three releases before him.

Especially with IAS stimpacks... He melts through zergs really fast.

Honestly he doesn't seem to be a big enough threat in teamfights, i had to preserve at least one oil spill (unless i pick "ignited oil spill slow enemies" talent. Especially with incinerating gauntlets because oil spill becomes simply weak ground dot + healing effect) to avoid being walked around and ignored. At one point of the game fucking morales was standing next to me healing Arthas and i barely scratched her face with IAS stims on while she giggled at me.

I just kinda confused wat do in teamfights, in some cases i have to preserve everything, wait for enemies to jump in the decide if i lock down target to kill (leaving my allies to fend for themselves) or ram enemy initiator to stop their progression into our back, spill oil everywhere for 40% slow (it annoys me so much that incinerating gloves ignite oil spills i can't even) and hope that my allies do everything right.

Bunker drop is awesome. I can't say anything more about it, it's just good. It has like 20 seconds downtime, gives armour and ability to pop some decent damage into opponents. I was so funny to see Genji pop his ult and everyone hiding in a bunker and burning him to crisp.
