The first hero that I will recommend you guys is " LION "

Lion is an intelligence hero who possesses many disable skills that are stun, hex and slow. Also, he capable of dealing massive damage by his ultimate "Finger of Death"

1. Earth Spike

Earth spike is a really useful skill. You may use this for farming creeps, disable heroes, harass heroes in the lane or up to disable heroes' teleportation.

2. Hex

Hex, as it said in the name, transforms an enemy into a frog that cannot do anything except walking with a really low speed.

3. Mana Drain

Targetting the target and Lion will start to drain the mana of the target by channeling the spell plus slow the target's movement speed.

4. Finger of Death

Lion casts the spell to the target from his mighty finger and dealing massive damage to the target and also the spell gets stronger every time it kills the heroes.
