Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ringmaster wins the Alchemist vs Ringmaster matchup: Ringmaster beats Alchemist in 53.11% of 2,367 ranked matches.
Catching Alchemist with one of Ringmaster's traps feels like it should be a simple kill, but it rarely works out that way. The problem is Alchemist's ultimate, which provides so much regeneration that he can often live through the initial burst damage that follows the lockdown. This forces Ringmaster's team to overcommit with more spells and damage than they would for a typical core. The setup isn't useless—the control is real and burns through Alchemist's ultimate duration—but it makes securing a kill on him specifically less reliable than it looks on paper.
The game then becomes a question of execution. Ringmaster and his team will constantly try to coordinate enough damage to kill Alchemist inside a single stun or trap duration, especially before he gets key defensive items. Alchemist, on the other hand, plays around his ultimate's cooldown, knowing he can often survive being caught as long as he can activate it. If Ringmaster's team fails to secure the kill, Alchemist gets to regenerate and keep farming, pulling ahead on net worth. This pressure to perfectly execute ganks gives Alchemist a small but consistent edge.
