Why this works
Thinking you have two powerful saves for your carry often leads to disaster. The abilities from Oracle and Shadow Demon simply don't overlap well. An ally hidden by Disruption cannot be targeted by False Promise, wasting a crucial cooldown and leaving them vulnerable right after. The bigger problem is how they manage buffs. Oracle's healing from Purifying Flames relies on precise, controlled purging. Shadow Demon, however, can unintentionally strip away that healing with his own Demonic Purge. One hero's core mechanic actively breaks the other's, creating a situation where your supports are fighting each other as much as the enemy team.
