The eternal question: which heroes are better, mages or warriors?

It all depends on the specific conditions. In online games with random maps, the map itself is the most important factor. On most maps, especially XL maps, warriors with magic and enough mana for comfortable use of control spells (transport spells) will easily defeat mages; however, on smaller maps, pure mages often dominate and defeat super-powerful warriors due to early encounters and strong combat abilities.
