Why
- Chen is the most reliable answer to Zeus: it wins 85% of 20 games against it, 35 points better than an even matchup.
- 4 of Zeus's 10 hardest counters are Pushers (vs 23% of all heroes), so Zeus tends to struggle against heroes that take towers fast.
- Items that help against Zeus: Cloak, Hood Of Defiance, Black King Bar.
