Dillemma #6: Morgana VS Hedvig

A common question I get from many people is on the topic of silencer heroes. There are two in total, Morgana and Hedvig. The 3-star versions don't actually silence.

In almost all cases, Morgana is the preferred choice. Hedvig only elongates cooldown time, but that can be more useful than Morgana.

Morgana silences really deadly enemies such as Merlin and completely blocks out their skill, rendering them close to useless for a period of time. However, Morgana's silencing doesn't last as long as Hedvig's cooldown changing. 

Let's compare the level 1 skills.

Morgana-40% chance to silence a random enemy hero, preventing him from activating his skill for 6 seconds.

Hedvig-20% chance to deal 62 damage to an enemy hero and increase 3 seconds tfor this hero's skill CD. The effect lasts for 10 seconds.

When used against a musketeer such as Sarky with a ten second cooldown, Morgana's skill simply prevents the musketeer from procing for six seconds. Hedvig will increase their cooldown by three seconds, and with the poor proc times musketeers have, this could severely impact enemy musketeers.

This might be an inaccurate comparison, since I'm comparing the level one skills and not level ten skills.
