How Oracle and Witch Doctor perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Oracle and Witch Doctor win 49.91% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 3,909 matches.
Channeling a full Death Ward often requires the enemy team to ignore Witch Doctor, which rarely happens. Oracle can solve this problem with False Promise, making his ally immune to death for the duration of the channel. This is the duo's signature play. A well-timed root from Fortune's End can also hold a target in place for Maledict's damage to ramp up, creating a strong single-target kill threat when their abilities line up correctly. These moments can feel very powerful.
The problem is that both heroes are prime targets and quite fragile. A lineup with strong gap-close can focus on bursting one of them down before this combination can even start. Lacking a durable frontline of their own, Oracle and Witch Doctor can struggle to find the space and time needed to execute their plan. The outcome of a fight then depends entirely on who gets the jump; if the supports can set up their ultimates, they're in a great spot, but if they get initiated on, the fight is often lost before it begins.
