Hey there! Good job, I really appreciate you read the skills before going into the game. Myself I don't like to play him as well, he is very dependent on getting ahead of others AND he is a late game carry, ideally the team needs to make space for him in order for him to buy his items, until he does he is kinda useless. Radiance is a defensive Item, the reason you felt he does not survive very well is Drow ignores base armor(the armor you get from agi) and she reduces life regen with the frost arrow, she counters alch pretty hard. You bought no extra armor items at all, it should have being better if Drow was not in the match. I am no alch player, but in this match I would not have overlooked the phase boots for the armor and perhaps buy Assault Cuirass instead of radiance. Alch as support is very iffy and depends a lot on the patch, sometimes he works, some not. It is fun to use his ability to give others the Aghs scepter but ,it is a very greedy strategy, then again greed is the name of the game when it comes to Alch. Some heroes are just not good in fights, until they become unstoppable forces, Alch, Anti-mage, Specter, Faceless Void... They feel like a** most of the game and if the team does not understand you need to farm and they need to make the space for that to happen, it is pure frustration. Not to mention it can become pretty toxic with people pinging you for not participating in fights when you haven't completed even the battle fury.
Once you learn the hero's gameplan you can have lots fun with almost anyone. If you read Alchemist innate you will notice he gets more gold the more units he kills the less amount of time. The reason he gets Radiance early is because he can afford it sooner than a lot of heroes and is a perfect farming tool too that works well with the innate. He can overfarm almost any hero in the game. He hits hard, fast and gets tanky as hell, also his regen is HUGE with his ultimate. He also moves fast as hevk and is pretty fun to Overhelm the enemy with everything he has and decimate their armor! If you want to play him as support you dont buy Radiance, it is really expensive.
yeah, heroes in dota each have unique playstyle, if you dont know the gameplan and purpose of the hero in the firsthand, you ends up confused on how the hero actually works. Some heroes builds for farming, laning, harassing, roaming, backline, dive, etc., thats why hero synergy is very important in this game because of the role and input it gives on each hero on the team. 1 trick is not very effective or less sucessful in this game, because your hero might countered and shutdown with just 1 abilities, heroes, skills, or a certain item builds of the enemy heroes.
Here the right way play alchemist , max 1st farming till got radiant and bkb when time clock at 20 min , go snow ball and end them fast dont let late game come
Advantage of this hero is over farming. If you farm well and fast you can quikly gain 1-2 item advantage from enemie carry and with advantage you need win faster. Cause in late game with full sloted carries, alot of carries just shred alchemist, he just cant fight against them on full 6 slots. As support initiator, he could be usefull with blink and his stun, also he can give aggscepters to teammates(but that weird ability. On carry you rather wont to farm aggscepters for teammates, and on support you wreally dont have space and time to farm those)
Yeah, he's not too flashy. He's generally played as a carry, his innate can generate a ton of gold and get out of hand if he has enough space to farm. That's his appeal, being a big rich carry.
Why judge heroes if you have no idea what they're about? Alchemist's kit revolves around his innate, but you didn't even mention it when discussing what he does, so I feel like you haven't even read it. You even admit you don't understand why he's built a certain way, instead of as a tank. Does this not immediately give you a red flag that you're missing something?
@@osterbuuny3083 its the first time experience w the hero and thoughts right after! its not meant to be a guide or anything and I do mention his innate in the middle of the video when I found out about it ahhahah

But were you a Fullmetal Alchemist? Brotherhood...
Radiance is a constant for alchemist. You must buy it first and you do it fast because of your innate. He is a carry, so you only farm at the start.
His Difficult : 8 /10
You believe or not this game is complicated

Knowing this now I think I should've gone mid hahaha
I can coaching you some basic about every heroes in discord , so at least your final thought about them more accurately 😅
hahaha ur probably right I should get some coaching before I try any hero🥲
@ThatEzDoe_Official some advice is enough , its not too serious
