The hero is picked in every third high-level pub game, despite being a ban nominee in pretty much every single one. He farms fast, comes online before any other core and can take over the map in a matter of twenty minutes. But is he really overpowered? In fact, the psychological factor is something that probably wins Alchemist at least some of his games, since every lost fight against this hero is incredibly tilt-inducing. Stay calm, stay collected and think of how you can win the game, instead of trying to find someone to blame in the previous fight and how everything is really, really bad after it.
It might be bad, someone might have messed up, but does this information really help you right now? He is still a Net Worth pinata, though, and one or two kills on him can completely turn around the economic disadvantage. Instead of concentrating on your past mistakes, try to look for mistakes from your opponent.
The current Alchemist build is pretty much set in stone, at least in public matchmaking. This set of items gives the hero armor, initiation, damage and magic immunity, making him a very hard target to deal with, while extra movement speed from his ultimate increases his chase potential. It is ill advised to try to fight this monster. Black King Bar also gets shorter and shorter over time, while Octarine Core is pretty rare on the hero these days.
If you get initiated on by Alchemist who already popped his ultimate and BKB, cut your losses and run. Your team will most likely lose at least one member, but it is better than trying to fight when you are not ready, and losing more.
Your fights at this stage of the game should be mostly about stalling and surviving. This applies to both macro and micro aspects of the game. It is reasonable to give up map control for some extra time. The most important part is the coordination and the precision of the attack. Discuss your plans with your team when the Alchemists ulti is still going, so that everyone understands what to do, once it is over.
The best solution, generally, is to hit the backlines, isolating a target and killing it off before the enemy gets to react. Alchemist is a strong hero, but given the charge-based nature of Unstable Concoction, it is really hard for him to save his teammates.
If you can kill a target quickly enough, he is either going to be forced to use a low-value stun, or will have to sacrifice his teammate.

Thanks again and have a nice day, I sure had a couple because of you guys. Ganker aka - e4. It still remains a core item because it isn't bought because of the stats, it's bought because it enables Alchemist to solo kill a lot of heroes or initiate teamfights. This is not changed and therefore Shadow Blade remains core. Hello guys! I have thought about this for a while now and decided to open a guild.

Alchemist Mid - Outfarm Them All! By Hades4u on February 26, It began as a user-made modification for Warcraft 3 and has grown into one of the most played online games in the world.

This means that Alchemist naturally wants to engage when he has an item advantage, ideally grouping in with his allies to push down towers and take engagements. In typical public matches at most skill levels, the result is either that Alchemist will farm longer than he needs to — giving opponent carries a chance to get core items so that they can effectively engage — or his team will try to engage with him earlier than they are prepared to do so, usually leading to unnecessary trades which give opponents more gold see the figures above.
Otherwise, you end up in the mid-to-late game having fed opponents extra AOE gold and with an inferior late-game carry. This is the most popular Alchemist in pro games right now and for good reason: out of the mid lane, this hero can get a good early start, make it rain with rune control, and the team still gets a traditional farming core.
The problems that exist with a farming Alchemist still exist with a mid Alchemist: he still indirectly feeds gold to opponents and wants to engage at inopportune times for allies.
Mid Alchemists work mostly on the back of strong team cohesion in professional games and are typically part of a finely-tuned and pre-rehearsed strategic outline. If you are going to run Alchemist as a core, it is vital that you reach out to your supports to help make them survivable as you grow, or they will accidentally use your own strength against you.
In order to make this strategy work, Monkey Business drafted a team which could engage aggressively and early as a whole squad. Cr1t built a Medallion of Courage, Miracle built drums out of the farming carry role, while Fly built the Mekanism. Notice a trend? The team built as a unit, each making sure that the sum of their team would be greater than the individual heroes.
Notice that BigDaddy only has one kill at the end of this game. His team did the real work, he just created the underlying conditions for their success.
By creating a constant pressure and subsidizing their success, BigDaddy is able to create victory conditions. So many better supports I think, unless there is something I'm missing. User Info: tcaz2. The point of alch support is that he's a capable support early, but also can clear stacked camps including ancients really fast. And since he has his greed skill, you can farm him up to semi-carry or carry status even with spending the first 15 minutes supporting.
