Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Shadow Shaman wins the Oracle vs Shadow Shaman matchup: Shadow Shaman beats Oracle in 52.36% of 21,751 ranked matches.
The instant cast of Hex makes saving a teammate incredibly difficult. Even if Oracle is positioned perfectly, Shadow Shaman can often follow up with Shackles before a dispel or False Promise can be cast. This chain of disables provides a huge window for his team to secure a kill. While Oracle's spells are excellent for drawn-out fights, they struggle against the immediate lockdown Shadow Shaman provides. This forces Oracle to use his ultimate to save a single ally from a gank, leaving his team without it for the next objective push. When Shadow Shaman brings out his Mass Serpent Ward, that missing ultimate can be the difference.
