How Oracle and Shadow Shaman perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Oracle and Shadow Shaman win 49.43% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,745 matches.
Picking these two supports together puts a lot of pressure on communication. Shadow Shaman offers very clear kill potential with `Hex` and `Shackles`, which are meant to set up burst damage on a single target. The main point of friction is Oracle's `Fate's Edict`. While it can disarm an enemy, it also grants them very high magic resistance. This means an Oracle trying to help can accidentally make an enemy invulnerable to the magic damage that is supposed to follow up on Shadow Shaman's lockdown, completely negating the setup.
In practice, this means the two heroes can work against each other in chaotic fights. While a `Fortune's End` into a `Shackles` makes for a long disable chain in the lane, the dynamic breaks down later. A Shadow Shaman player wants to see the target he disabled die quickly. An Oracle player is looking for opportunities to save allies or neuter a high-damage enemy. When these priorities clash and `Fate's Edict` lands on the main kill target, the entire gank or teamfight initiation can fall apart. The combo isn't impossible, but it requires a level of coordination that's hard to achieve.
