1. Introduction

After the 6.65 was released AA became one of the great heroes for me with four active spells.Using his four active spells can be quite intimidating once the user maters this hero becomes one of the most powerful heroes in DotA. AA can stop pushes from another lane using his ice blast and still he can keep on pushing from another lane.Using cold feet he can harass enemy heroes, and therefore has and excellent lane control.His capability of amplifying teams damage while in a gank is also extraordinary.

2. Hero Overview

Strength:18+1.4
This neither good nor bad for heroes like AA.

Agility:20+2.2 

This is good and the gain is also good per level.

Intelligence:25+2.6
This is also good almost excellent this makes AA easy to spam powers.

Alchemist is one of the great heroes in DotA. He is a more of a tanker hero and if earned properly can also be carry hero.After his stun has been reworked he is able to support also. If not used properly this hero would almost be useless even for good tanking but if farmed properly could change he course of the game from defeat to victory.One has to have great teamwork to play alchemist if he doesn't get good support it would also be useless.
