alch is a hero where he can pull gold out of thin air similar to BH, odds are those players play both.
best option for Alch is to sentry spam their jungle near mid lane (if on mid) or 3-4 of the nearest jungle camps to his lane and make sure they are in good spots else he will quell them himself.

he's one of those annoying heroes that forces supports to farm gold else he will stomp the game, supports cant farm gold without annoying the carry. carry will get annoyed they cant have all the gold+alch shut down.

I was about to say this.

60% reduction to health regen takes his health regen from 100/130 to 40/52. That's quite a reduction, yet easily manageable.

Buy some wards and place them in enemy jungle creep spawns. so they wont spawn anymore. Good counter heroes: bh and aa.

u cant stop his farm, ask team to play safe till late game ultra late game heroes(AM,JUG,void,PA) will kick his ass....ancient appa is a good counter too but can be kited with alche bkb

[XxX GH0ST XxX]

AA, buy Urn/SV, and heroes with silence. Force fights with their supports down. Most of it is rat dota. They're healing him while he pushes and fights. When he's about to die, they'll force staff him out.

Ancient Apparation is indeed one of Alchy's hard counters.
The general hard counter is to just kill him at every opportunity and prevent him from farming, since that's just what he does.
But one of his strengths is that insane health regen when he activates his ulty, making him incredibly durable and tanky.
AA takes that away from him, meaning that the rest of the team have far better chances at killing him.

break makes his ultimate not regen or give him attack speed, so viper is a pretty good hero against alch.
Plus becausue alch is the best laner you stomp him early game mid

That is incorrect, break doesn't disable any part of Alch's ulti.
