DOTA never had the best hero, only the best player.
Actually, personally, I prefer Carl. Various skills. It's really a mess to show the super-high damage of meteorites. Shock waves end in various physical later stages. Fire man reduces armor, ice wall slows down. Skyfire full picture KS head. Blowing control state. The thunderstorm suddenly turned blue. Not to mention rapid cooling. Isn't he the first skill pointed out by the cardholder? . . . . . . . . If you play well. Carl will show off each other's lives and can't take care of himself.
But the shadow devil is also very awesome. If there is one hero in DOTA that people love and hate the most, it is the shadow devil.
Isn't the one who saw the preferred shadow demon targeted to death? Carl's first choice is definitely not treated like this. Why? This is self-evident. Success also shadows the devil, so does failure.
Which hero can achieve 900 AOE damage at level 7? Which hero can easily attack in sandals 150? That hero brought his own armor. Will a man die? Is that hero's big move really the second man? The super-high magic explosion and physical attack in the early stage of the Shadow Devil are very impressive. The only drawback is brittleness. This is why so many people like to perform. He is not as invisible as Carl. There is no blow card. Someone is chasing the shadow demon. Either you die. Either I die. Desperate hero. But that's why. More fascinating.
These two heroes are very domineering in the later period.
To tell the truth, Carl is more difficult to fight. The shadow devil gets up in the later stage, basically relying on A. But Carl gets up late and still has to cut all kinds of skills.
But the question is whether the shadow demon can get up. The shadow demon is too easy to be targeted in the early stage. Carl, on the other hand, there are not so many idlers who will kill you anyway. There you are. He is invisible. You powder, he blows you up. Cut three thunderballs and run. If you still chase, put an ice wall so that you can't leave. Even meteorite shock waves can quickly cool the sky, flames and people, if Carl thinks so. Of course, there may not be so much blue in the early stage.
Anyway, each has its advantages and disadvantages.
It all depends on your own opinion.
I personally like Carl. But I don't think this is a good game. So the shadow devil plays better. You can try.
