How Alchemist and Weaver perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Weaver win 43.22% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 273 matches.
Playing on two different maps at once is the core issue here. Alchemist demands a huge amount of resources and needs his team to play around his section of the jungle, stacking camps and defending him from pressure. Weaver, however, is a tempo hero who wants to be constantly skirmishing across the map, using Shukuchi to find solo pickoffs and apply pressure elsewhere. This splits the team's focus. Either Weaver is left without follow-up for his aggression, or Alchemist's farm is left unprotected. The lineup lacks a central focus, and neither hero provides the kind of control or setup the other one needs to get their game going.
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.
