How Alchemist and Brewmaster perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Brewmaster win 44.32% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 643 matches.
Creating space for an Alchemist to farm often falls to his teammates, and Brewmaster can certainly do that with Primal Split. Once Alchemist comes online with items, they can fight together, but their kits don't have a special connection. Both heroes want to run at the enemy and be a disruptive frontline presence. Acid Spray's armor reduction is a definite bonus for Brewmaster and his spirits' physical attacks. However, neither hero provides the specific kind of hard lockdown or defensive save that the other truly wants to secure kills or survive. They mostly operate independently on the map, and while they don't get in each other's way, they don't form a particularly powerful combination either.

These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
