How Ancient Apparition and Oracle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Ancient Apparition and Oracle win 48.52% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,539 matches.
Struggling to set the game’s tempo is a common problem for this duo. Both Ancient Apparition and Oracle are defensive, backline supports who lack the reliable lockdown needed for proactive ganks. This can lead to a passive early game where the team cedes map control while waiting for ultimates. In teamfights, their signature spells don't directly amplify each other; Ice Blast is used on the enemy team while Oracle saves an ally with False Promise. Because they operate independently rather than creating a specific combo, their overall impact can feel less than the sum of its parts, making their performance together feel inconsistent.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
