Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Oracle wins the Shadow Fiend vs Oracle matchup: Oracle beats Shadow Fiend in 56.24% of 22,004 ranked matches.
Trying to save an ally from a close-range Requiem of Souls is harder than it looks for Oracle. While False Promise delays death, the sheer amount of magic damage from Shadow Fiend's ultimate still gets tallied up. If that burst is high enough, the healing Oracle can output during the promise won't be enough to prevent the target from dying when it ends. This gives Shadow Fiend a reliable way to secure kills even through Oracle's signature save. On the other hand, a well-timed Fate's Edict can completely shut down a right-clicking SF, making him a non-factor in a fight.
The matchup often comes down to positioning and who commits their ultimate first. Oracle wants to play defensively and force Shadow Fiend to overextend, using Fortune's End to hold him in place for a gank. If Oracle can disarm SF or cast his ultimate before the Requiem damage lands, his team can usually turn the fight. Shadow Fiend's goal is the opposite: wait for another stun on a key target, get on top of them, and unleash his full burst when False Promise is already on cooldown or on the wrong hero.
