Hilda cant carry,not even if you go full damage with her. She is a very balanced hero, she can steal kills but not deal lots of damage herself. Other figthers do more damage and have combos and stuff, hilda is more like support figther.
I agree that Hilda has improved, I am so glad for her. She was this kind of hero that had no personality or use before, but now with the changes to come her role can be updated to jungle as she can roam the hole map. She would be a nice pick.
its easier to kill a balmond than a hilda. balmond has more damage. they both heal but balmond needs minions to heal. Similar playstyle.
Hilda is more for a safe defense style. With balmond you can be more agresiive, jump thru some walls...
