How this matchup plays
Trying to burst down a hero with Chen's army feels unreliable when an Oracle is on the other team. All that coordinated damage from your creeps can be completely undone by a well-timed False Promise, letting the target survive the gank and turn the fight. Oracle can also use his dispel on Penitence, making it much harder for your units to stick to a fleeing hero. This forces Chen to play around a very long cooldown to find effective ganks. The matchup isn't one-sided, though. Chen's ability to pressure towers with his army is something Oracle is very poorly equipped to handle on his own, creating a strategic tension that keeps things close.
