How Alchemist and Death Prophet perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Death Prophet win 47.67% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,823 matches.
Figuring out who gets the best farm on the map becomes a problem with this pairing. Alchemist needs to occupy the safest and most efficient jungle camps to accelerate with Greevil's Greed, hitting an early item timing that lets him take over the game. Death Prophet has a similar requirement, needing a core role to get the levels and items that make her Exorcism a real threat. This often leads to one of them being underfarmed, which delays or weakens their shared timing window and leaves the team's entire strategy feeling too top-heavy and vulnerable.
The game plan is usually to group up and push as soon as Death Prophet has her ultimate and Alchemist is online. When it works, the combination of Chemical Rage, Exorcism, and Acid Spray melts towers very quickly. The issue is getting to that point. This duo invites early pressure from the enemy team, and if that first big push fails or gets delayed, they have very few ways to recover. The draft lacks defensive tools and flexibility, making it a high-risk strategy that relies on everything going perfectly during the laning stage.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. 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.
