Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.

Struggling to hit your item timings on Alchemist is a common theme in this matchup. Necrophos creates constant pressure that's hard to deal with, especially during the laning stage. His Heartstopper Aura makes it painful to stand near the creep wave, forcing you to burn through your regeneration to stay in lane. This pressure can slow down your farm significantly. Later on, even if you get big with Chemical Rage, you're always a prime target for Reaper's Scythe. That ultimate punishes heroes who get low, making it dangerous for an Alchemist to dip in health during a fight, no matter how much regeneration he has.
