How Dark Willow and Oracle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Dark Willow and Oracle win 49.00% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,645 matches.
Trying to combine their spells on one target often feels surprisingly clunky. The main problem is Oracle's Fate's Edict. If he casts it on an enemy to disarm them, that target also gains magic immunity. This completely nullifies Dark Willow's primary damage from Bedlam and a charged Shadow Realm attack. A well-intentioned save or disarm from Oracle can accidentally ruin a kill setup, letting the enemy walk away from Willow's full combo. While a False Promise can save a diving Dark Willow in a pinch, you spend a lot of the game fighting the conflicting nature of your basic abilities, making it hard to secure the aggressive plays this pairing seems to promise on paper.
