How Alchemist and Faceless Void perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Faceless Void win 46.23% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,928 matches.
The ideal scenario for this pair involves Alchemist farming up an early Aghanim's Scepter for Faceless Void. This provides Void a huge power spike much sooner than usual, creating a powerful mid-game window. Inside Chronosphere, Alchemist can also land a guaranteed max-duration Unstable Concoction, followed by Acid Spray to melt a trapped target. This combination provides excellent single-target lockdown and burst when their long cooldowns align.
The main problem is that both heroes are extremely greedy. Having both Alchemist and Faceless Void on the same team can put a huge strain on your map resources, as both need a lot of safe farm to be effective. If your team falls behind early, it can be very difficult to create the space they both need to recover. The game often hinges on whether the rest of your team can hold on long enough for these two cores to get their essential items and start winning teamfights.
