How this matchup plays

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.
