How Necrophos and Oracle perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Necrophos and Oracle win 52.18% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 987 matches.
Trying to burst a low-health Necrophos seems like the correct play, but it's a trap when Oracle is nearby. False Promise can absorb all that initial damage, giving Necrophos time to heal himself with Ghost Shroud and Death Pulse. During this window, his Heartstopper Aura continues to grind down everyone who committed to the kill. When the invulnerability ends, the enemy team has likely wasted key spells on a target who is now healthier than before. This gives Necrophos a much cleaner opportunity to find a Reaper's Scythe kill and turn the entire fight around. Oracle makes finishing him off a much harder task than it appears.
