Alchemist + Tiny

Why this works

Putting these two cores on the same team creates a massive resource strain from the very start. Both Alchemist and Tiny are exceptionally greedy heroes who want to accelerate their farm in the same safe areas of the map. Alchemist needs to clear stacks constantly to get value from Greevil's Greed, but a core Tiny also relies on clearing camps and ancients quickly with Tree Grab to build his own items. They inevitably compete for the same limited farm, which slows both of them down and delays the critical timings that make them strong.

This economic conflict means the team's power curve is incredibly slow and awkward. Instead of one hero hitting a major item spike and creating space, you have two cores who are likely underfarmed for their roles. Opponents can easily exploit this by grouping up and applying pressure, taking towers and map control while your team is still trying to find farm for both Alchemist and Tiny. The draft becomes too top-heavy and passive, making it difficult to contest objectives or respond to aggression before the game snowballs out of control.
