Background Story
Oraclean is an ancient mage from Ionia, born with the ability to see through the flow of time. He can read the threads of fate and sense important events before they occur. His past is shrouded in mystery, but according to legend, he was once an ordinary human who made a pact with the Guardian of Time and became an immortal being. Oraclean uses his abilities to maintain the balance of the world, sometimes intervening directly.
Abilities and Skills
Oraclean is a mage champion who primarily plays in the mid lane. His kit focuses on time manipulation and prophecy.
- Passive: Whisper of Time - Oraclean's basic attacks and skills leave a 'Mark of Time' on enemies upon hitting. As the mark stacks, it deals additional magic damage, and upon reaching a certain number of stacks, it stuns the enemy briefly.
- Q: Arrow of Prophecy - Oraclean fires an arrow of prophecy, dealing magic damage to enemies and reducing their movement speed for 2 seconds. A 'Time Rift' is created at the impact location, dealing continuous damage to enemies within range.
- W: Time Warp - Oraclean creates a time warp field in a target area. Allies within the field gain increased movement speed, while enemies are slowed. Additionally, Oraclean's skill cooldowns are reduced by 20% while inside the field.
- E: Echo of the Past - Oraclean summons an echo of the past, dealing magic damage to enemies in a line and silencing them for 1 second. This skill is effective for interrupting enemy abilities.
- R: Thread of Fate - Oraclean's ultimate restores all allied champions' current health and mana to their state 5 seconds ago. This skill maximizes ally survivability and plays a decisive role in team fights.
Gameplay and Strategy
Oraclean excels at poking in the early laning phase, but his high mana consumption makes mana management crucial. Use Q to poke enemies from a distance, and W to avoid ganks or assist with lane pushing. E is used to block key enemy abilities, while the ultimate can recover from ally mistakes or neutralize focused attacks in team fights. Oraclean becomes stronger in the late game, particularly impactful in team fights. Item builds focus on magic penetration and cooldown reduction, with survival items like Zhonya's Hourglass or Banshee's Veil being essential.
Counter Relationships
Oraclean is weak against long-range poke champions. For example, champions like Xerath or Lux can poke him from outside his range, giving them an advantage. Conversely, melee assassin champions like Zed or Katarina can be countered by Oraclean's time warp and silence skills. Additionally, Oraclean is vulnerable to crowd control (CC), so caution is needed against compositions with heavy CC.
Recent Trends
Since his release in July 2024, Oraclean has brought significant changes to the League of Legends meta. Initially, his win rate was low at 45%, but as players learned to utilize his skills, it gradually rose to 52% as of January 2025. He is frequently picked in professional matches, achieving the highest ban rate at the 2024 World Championship. Riot Games applied a nerf in the February 2025 patch, slightly increasing his ultimate's cooldown, but he is still considered a strong champion. Additionally, rumors in the community suggest that a skin line for Oraclean will be released, with a 'Guardian of Time' theme being a strong candidate.
