How Oracle and Techies perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Oracle and Techies win 49.95% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,227 matches.
Letting Techies use Blast Off! aggressively is the main idea here. Oracle can follow up with a False Promise, allowing Techies to survive the self-damage and any return fire while he unloads Sticking Bombs. This turns a high-risk play into a much safer initiation. Oracle can also use Fortune's End to hold an enemy in place, making it easier for Techies to land his spells or lead a target over a hidden Proximity Mine. The basic dynamic is Oracle enabling a much more reckless and effective Techies.
The main issue for this duo is a lack of reliable stuns. They have roots and silences, but very mobile heroes can often escape their kill attempts. In lane, they can feel a bit passive, mostly focused on sustaining and waiting for an enemy to overextend into their damage. The game plan relies heavily on Oracle being in the right position to cast a clutch False Promise. If the enemy team can burst Oracle first or has heroes that can deal with the ultimate, the whole strategy can unravel, making the pairing effective only in specific situations.
