Alchemist/Counters

Bad against...

 * cancels out Chemical Rage's rapid health regeneration. It can also take advantage of Alchemist's toggling, as it will make HP drain insanely fast, essentially killing the bearer in no time.


 * greatly reduces Chemical Rage's attack speed advantage.


 * - Invoker can win the mid lane easily against Alchemist because regeneration will nullify Acid Spray's damage over time and  damage bonus will allow Invoker to out last hit Alchemist.


 * is good against high health and low armor Alchemist.
 * allows Lifestealer to not be targetable by Unstable Concoction, possibly making Alchemist stun himself.


 * can kill Alchemist before Chemical Rage has the time to heal him.
 * can prevent Alchemist from attacking Necrophos, as well as make him immune to Acid Spray and Unstable Concoction damage.


 * followed by takes advantage of Alchemist's low base armor, making it easy to quickly kill him with physical damage.


 * allows Slark to not be targeted by Unstable Concoction, making Alchemist stun himself and making himself vulnerable to the enemy.


 * Chemical Rage will rarely save Alchemist against Ursa's.


 * Ember's magic damage build is able to burst down Alchemist due to his low strength gain and Alchemist's normal item pick up.

Others

 * can bully Alchemist out of mid lane quite easily, forcing him to either retreat into jungle, or stay harassed in lane, and get very few last hits.
 * can take advantage of Alchemist's little armor to kill him.
 * 's makes sure that either Alchemist is unable to hit anyone while also being slowed and susceptible to magical damage, or can protect an ally from physical attacks. Besides, Pugna can push early on, when Alchemist is not strong enough to repel it, so by the time Alchemist comes online, he might be forced to sit in base.

Items

 * reduces Alchemist's already low base armor even further, and protects against his rapid physical attacks.
 * reduces Alchemist's attack speed and gives a fair amount of armor.
 * applies an undispellable disarm so Alchemist cannot attack during Chemical Rage, forcing him to activate Black King Bar beforehand.
 * disables Alchemist, making sure he won't be able to use his Chemical Rage to heal up, and allows heroes to burst him down fast.
 * reflects Unstable Concoction easily due to its long brewing time.

Good against...

 * Alchemist's Chemical Rage nullifies Broodmother's
