Lycan's mobility allows him to easily get on top of AA and has enough damage to kill him reliably. Shapeshift essentially provides him with Haste making it difficult for AA to connect his Ice Blast and easy for Lycan to leave Cold Feet's stun radius. Summon Wolves on their own are able to apply enough pressure for AA and force him to kite them.
Oracle's skill set doesnt allow him to defend himself from your units. Even if he disarms you, the units will be able to kill him.
