How Earthshaker and Oracle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Earthshaker and Oracle win 50.73% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 6,738 matches.
The theory is that Oracle's False Promise lets Earthshaker play fearlessly, blinking in for a huge Echo Slam without worrying about dying. In practice, it's messy. Oracle's Fate's Edict, used to disarm an enemy, also makes them immune to all the magic damage from Echo Slam and Fissure. This single ability can negate Earthshaker's impact. Even casting it defensively on Earthshaker is a trade-off, as it disarms him and stops his Enchant Totem attacks. These conflicting abilities make clean execution difficult.
A fight can hinge on a perfect False Promise that keeps a low-health Earthshaker alive for his second round of stuns. However, the combo frequently falls apart. An Oracle might use Purifying Flames on a target Earthshaker has stunned, but the heal-over-time can accidentally save them. The success of this pairing depends entirely on communication to avoid the anti-synergies in their kits. Without perfect coordination, they often feel like they're working against each other as much as with each other.
