Why this works
Trying to burst down a target under False Promise often feels like the right play, but all that damage is simply delayed until the effect ends. This creates a window where Oracle can pile on healing, which gets doubled by the ultimate. For a hero like Lycan, this is an ideal safety net. He can use Shapeshift to dive deep into a fight and commit to a kill, confident that Oracle can keep him alive even if he gets focused. The massive healing usually negates all the damage Lycan took, allowing him to survive situations that would otherwise be certain death and continue his rampage.
