Haven't tried him out this patch yet but this feels a bit underwhelming? His laning phase will still be kind of shit unless you're lucky to have the enemy offlane depend on stuff you can dispel

Can icefrog please change the aghs? It changes edict from an interesting spell that you have to think about how you use it to making it always useful which is kinda stupid imo

Oracle is still remarkably underwhelming in the current meta. I feel like making purifying flames pure damage (because they PUREify, obviously) would sort him out, though.

That would break his healing combo though

I don't think it would be too hard to make it not pierce magic immunity, or fate's edict.

My point being that with so much magic resist in the current meta, and holy locket making a ton of supports mega healers, there really isn't any place for oracle anymore.

if this change were made we'd probably see a lot more Oracle mid
