How Alchemist and Primal Beast perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Primal Beast win 40.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 170 matches.
Giving an early Aghanim's Scepter to a non-traditional carry can feel like a waste, but it's the whole point of this pairing. Primal Beast spikes incredibly hard with his Scepter upgrade, adding a powerful ranged tool to his all-in kit. Alchemist accelerates this timing so much that Primal can take over the map way before enemies have the items to deal with him. Once Primal Beast starts charging around and winning fights with Pulverize, Alchemist gets all the space he needs to farm up and become a proper second threat. It creates a mid-game snowball that's very difficult for the other team to stop.
