How Alchemist and Phantom Assassin perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Phantom Assassin win 42.88% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 576 matches.
Gifting an early Aghanim's Scepter to Phantom Assassin often backfires. She's forced to skip the core damage and survivability items she needs to fight, leaving her a weak link during Alchemist's critical mid-game window. This highlights the duo's main problem: conflicting timings. Alchemist uses Greevil's Greed to accelerate the pace and force objectives, but he ends up creating a tempo that Phantom Assassin isn't ready for. She'd rather be farming her own items, not receiving a luxury upgrade that leaves her too fragile to join the fights Alchemist is trying to start. The result is a team pulled in two different directions.
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.
