How Oracle and Tidehunter perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Oracle and Tidehunter win 49.38% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 4,263 matches.
Saving a Tidehunter who has committed to a fight is where this pairing shows its potential. Oracle can use False Promise to ensure Tidehunter survives long enough to find and cast a perfect Ravage, even when he's the center of attention. This interaction lets the Tidehunter play extremely aggressively, confident that he won't be bursted down before using his ultimate. Oracle can also use Fortune's End to remove a key silence, offering another layer of security for getting that big initiation off without a problem.
In practice, this synergy can feel a bit redundant. Tidehunter is already naturally durable and gets a strong dispel from Kraken Shell, so False Promise is not always necessary to keep him alive. Oracle is often forced to choose between using his ultimate to guarantee the initiation or saving it for a more fragile carry who is getting focused. The laning phase for this duo is also fairly average, with decent harass but little kill threat. The combo is powerful in the right teamfight, but it doesn't always come together or provide a consistent edge.
