Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Riki wins the Alchemist vs Riki matchup: Riki beats Alchemist in 53.69% of 10,264 ranked matches.
Keeping Alchemist from hitting his early item timings is the core of this matchup. Riki excels at this by shadowing lanes and jungle camps with his permanent invisibility, forcing Alchemist to play defensively and slow his farm. The key interaction is Smoke Screen. It silences Alchemist, preventing him from charging Unstable Concoction to escape, and the miss chance neuters any attempt to fight back. Riki can usually secure kills early, especially before Alchemist gets bulky from Chemical Rage or items. This constant threat of being picked off throws off Alchemist's entire economic game plan, which is what he relies on to win the game.
