How Alchemist and Wraith King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Wraith King win 49.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 529 matches.
Giving an Aghanim's Scepter to your carry is Alchemist's entire game plan, and Wraith King is one of the best possible recipients. The Scepter upgrade lets his dead teammates continue fighting as wraiths, which can completely turn around a fight. Receiving that for free means Wraith King can accelerate his own item build, spending his gold on damage or tank items instead. This creates two huge threats for the price of one: Alchemist gets rich, and Wraith King gets a massive, early power spike that he didn't have to farm for.
This combination puts the enemy on a timer. They are forced to choose between trying to shut down Alchemist's farm, which leaves Wraith King uncontested, or dealing with a frontline carry who is already scaling ahead of the curve. The typical response is to pressure Alchemist relentlessly in the early game. If your team can protect him long enough for him to deliver that first Scepter, you can start grouping as five. Wraith King can then lead the charge, creating space for Alchemist to keep farming while you take objectives.
