How Alchemist and Morphling perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Morphling win 38.65% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 163 matches.
Giving Morphling an early Aghanim's Scepter sounds like a great plan, but in practice it forces Alchemist into a sacrificial farming role that guts his own game. The fundamental problem is that both of these heroes want to be the single greediest character on the map. They end up competing for safe farm, so neither one really gets what they need to hit their timings effectively. This creates a massive power vacuum in the early and mid-game that your other three heroes can't fill. The enemy team gets to run at you, take towers, and control the entire tempo while you hope two cores can eventually come online.
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.
