Alchemist shit is going to start happening soon. Not liking teams picking Ursa every game to counter the Alchemist. Alchemist can just leave the lane and do fine out of lane anyways.

edit: Nice move by IG to take a fight right after that fresh sub 14 minute radiance.

Just tuned in. I thought support Weaver stopped being a thing.

The only real counter to alch is meepo in terms of dominating the lane and ending the game early. Not sure how strong meepo is now after the tower armor aura changes though.

Newbee basically need to end this game before Alchemist starts handing out Scepters.

One bad teamfight. Then the whole game gets turned on its head. Just alchemist things.

Do teams actually manage to shut down Alchemist? He just seems so obnoxious in the first ten minutes.

Ever since teams managed to learn how to farm both jungles efficiently while dodging no. Not with any consistency at least.

Interesting point Godz making about blocking camps. I miss that. Picking a Bounty Hunter or Riki and just blocking out the critical camps and following around a jungler.

Newbee play is so predictable. China evolves, but doesn't change.

So what's Newbee doing wrong, or is the Alch just that out of control right now?

Q is way more creative and versatile than Faith. They must have been studying OG on how to play alchemist and with the addition of weaver its just disgusting.

Eh a bit of both. Newbee probably should have played riskier to end it before Alch gave out 4 scepters.
