Alchemist (Alch) Counter Picks — 7.41f
Who counters Alchemist (Alch) in Dota 2 7.41f? Counter picks and matchups for Alchemist, 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, Legion Commander and Crystal Maiden — Alchemist wins only 43.6%, 43.9% and 44.4% of ranked matches against them.
