How Alchemist and Jakiro perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Jakiro win 42.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,047 matches.
Trying to chain stuns together reveals the core of the problem. Alchemist wants to run directly at a target while charging his Unstable Concoction, but Jakiro’s ideal setup involves locking enemies down from a distance with Ice Path. Their spells feel clumsy to combo. Both heroes also rely heavily on area-of-effect damage over time with Acid Spray and Macropyre, but they lack the instant burst or reliable lockdown to force enemies to stay inside both zones, leading to redundant and wasted damage potential.
The bigger issue is a clash of game plans. Alchemist’s entire game revolves around accelerating his own farm to hit a specific item timing and take over the map. He wants space and solo time. Jakiro, on the other hand, excels in early grouping and applying constant pressure to objectives with his lane-pushing spells. The result is a team that’s often out of sync, with the Alchemist wanting to farm while the Jakiro wants to fight, pulling the team in two different directions.
