Alchemist Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Alchemist in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Alchemist beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
Alchemist is a hyper-farming carry whose Greevil's Greed gives him absurd gold, Acid Spray shreds armor, and Unstable Concoction stuns — and he can gift an Aghanim's to any ally. He out-farms and out-scales immobile heroes: Mars, Nature's Prophet and Timbersaw lose the economy war. Alchemist is countered by early aggression and break that beat his greed: Lifestealer, Night Stalker and Slark snowball before he comes online. Draft tip: Alchemist is a brutal scaling pick into passive drafts; punish him early with Night Stalker/Slark aggression before his economy spirals.
In Dota 2 7.41f, the heroes that counter Alchemist hardest are Outworld Destroyer, Lich and Brewmaster — Alchemist wins only 43.2%, 43.4% and 43.5% of ranked matches against them.
