Oracles: The 400g game changer

Oracles are one of the most important items to have on Summoner’s rift. Oracles Elixir “grants your champion stealth detection for 5 minutes or until they die.” Nicknamed just Oracles, it allows the team possessing it a huge advantage. Here is a complete guide on the 400 gold:

Oracles allow the champion possessing it to detect anything stealth. This goes for enemy wards, allowing you to kill the wards. Killing the wards takes away the vision of the area that the ward was placed. This is a HUGE deal. Oracles allow you to clear the vision of the enemy team, especially near key objectives like Baron or Dragon. The enemy team will have no choice but to dangerously “face-check” bushes, when your team could be sitting there. This also allows you to sneak objectives without being noticed. Since they cannot see it being done, you earned yourself a free dragon or baron. Oracles combined with warding in their jungle, allows you to see them at all times, without being seen yourself. Oracles will give you complete control of the map, and also the game.

Not only can oracles spot wards, it can also stop stealth enemies in their place. Oracles can spot all stealth attacks from opponents, making the stealth portion completely worthless. For example, Twitch’s Ambush would be completely nullified, he would be seen walking in and would be exploded instantly. This gives the team with oracles a huge advantage if the other team has any stealth champions or stealth spells. Oracles nullifies spells, and only for 400 gold. Here are a list of champion's oracles can see:

So when do you buy Oracles? This is more of a situational question. Oracles have so many benefits to it that you want to buy it as early as possible. Buying oracles in the lane phase allows you to gank easily. Clear the enemy’s ward, and go right in for the gank while they have no vision. The enemy team constantly not having vision will almost ensure a victory, as you steal objectives left and right. They will play more scared with no vision, not knowing when the next gank is coming in. You even get gold for clearing wards, so it is always a win-win situation. Oracles is a must have for at least one person on the team, and buying it anytime is appropriate.

So there is all you need to know about oracles. It clears the enemy vision, and gives sight to stealth champions. The enemy team will have no vision, and will open up more ganking opportunities. It only cost 400 gold, and you earn gold for killing enemy wards. Oracles are a win-win, so start chugging that pink elixir on Summoner’s Rift.
