How Oracle and Sand King perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Oracle and Sand King win 48.38% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,098 matches.
Picking these two together often feels like a bet on your Sand King's ability to initiate perfectly. The upside is clear: Oracle can cast False Promise on an allied Sand King, allowing him to survive deep in the enemy team and finish a full Epicenter channel. Fate's Edict can also provide a crucial boost to magic resistance during the channel, though the disarm is an awkward side effect. The weakness is that Oracle offers almost no help in setting up the play itself. He can't lock targets down for Burrowstrike or reliably prevent stuns that cancel Epicenter. Success depends entirely on the Sand King finding his own opening, making the combination powerful when it works but inconsistent otherwise.
