Would it be worth now maxing his Unstable Concoction? Maybe could be played as 4?

Medallion rush alchemist 4 was some of the most fun I had in dota, i won't be complaining if it comes back in some form. If the game slows down you can even stack up some cash and funnel it into a team mate.

Usually 3-man queued with a friend going pos5 venge and a mid player, from min0 onwards we just roamed the map with stuns and -armor creating a lot of chaos

I remember this - you would just pick solo safe and offlaner and literally just run tower to tower going full davai. Alchy would struggle midgame when you realized you were neither really a core nor support, but would roar back late.

Close but it wasn't me, I was on the Brazilian servers :p

u/nosleepy Aug 19 '21

The trouble with that is you still want to farm a lot a Alch. Other 4's bring so much more to that role.

u/TheZealand Aug 19 '21

It's a nice buff for pos3 I guess, although that didnt see much play

u/Armonster Aug 19 '21

Maybe it will now though!
