Role of agility heroes

Agility heroes typically play carry or ganker roles. Carries are focused on farming gold and experience early in the game to build powerful items and become a major damage threat later on.

Evolution of agility

The agility attribute has been the cornerstone of physical combat, granting heroes increased armor, attack speed, and movement speed. Over time, the attribute's influence has evolved, with the relative importance of each stat shifting as the game's meta and strategies have changed. While agility still remains a critical factor in physical prowess, its impact on movement speed has been removed.
