The one I have the most beef with these days is penny arcade. After a 10-strip non-gaming story arc followed by a heavy-handed political commentary, I lost interest entirely(and likely permanently).
I'm just glad Jo is still writing comics about games.
I trolled my own path, you followed your rage, but maybe we're both the same. The comics have turned, and so many have ragequit, but nobody is to blame.
It's tearing across this colorful paper, I think new love will be born, beneath the rage stained page!

All else being equal, both the TF2 and DOTA strips have used inside information from their games. However, I think TF2 is by default a much simpler game to understand for outsiders. For one, it's a simple FPS, so most gamers already know the core mechanics. For another, it only has 9 classes...

I didn't know half of the SC2, Skyrim, Mass Effect and Diablo comics but I didn't spam the comments about how I didn't understand them and that they suck.
You "true NerfNow fans" are beyond retarded.

@An Indifferent Bystander: I rather go with the theory that the Dota2 joke are more insider-jokes and you need to be a player of that game to get them.
TF2 and other games? Not so much, most of the time.
At least, that is the case for me.

What I'm saying is they probably don't hate DoTA as much as they make it sound. They just want their old TF2-based webcomic back.

The people commenting about how DoTA shouldn't be the topic of Jo/NerfNOW are probably people who have followed this comic from way back when and started following it because it was a TF2 comic with several arcs about TF2 with stories and whatnot. They're Disgruntled because it's mostly DoTA now.

[url=#user_comment_282847]@Flashburn[/url]: Well that is because you probably haven't followed the previous 3 comics. It started with CM getting a courier. In the next comic Pudge got it killed. Then in the 3rd she took mid lane from pudge to farm and making pudge be ward bitch. Finally she gets her revenge on the enemey courier.

The comments in this comic proves one thing. That Jo should stop making comics about Dota 2. The fans who likes Dota 2 are in the minority.

[url=#user_comment_282814]@derp[/url]: To that I have to disagree. Whilst at first glance TF2 looks horrible, it is a relatively fun game with a high skill ceiling, that REALLY needs good teamwork to win most games and match-ups. In competitive it's actually pretty awesome.
It's just the people in the pubs that discourages me.

I don't play Dota 2, but even so, it's PRETTY OBVIOUS what is going on in this comic arc.. And what is with all this hate with Dota 2? You can't judge a book by its cover, and so if you haven't played it, you CANNOT whine about how it's a bad game and all that stupidity. Bet all of you play LoL...

Fourth, I didn't say that Jo should make comics only about Dota because of its' popularity, I used it purely as an argument for dota being a good game, because otherwise it wouldn't be the most popular game on Steam with as many players as the next 9 games TOTAL before even its' release.

First of all, CoD has far less content than Dota. Second, the CoD-series is a mass-produced game aimed at popularity, while Dota is a good and old game loved by many players (including professional ones) for over a decade. Third, if CoD is popular it means that it is good at what it is.

By that logic, Jo should start making Nerfnow exclusively about Call of Duty because it's one of the most popular games atm.

Stop playing Dota 2, Jo. You know it sucks. That's why we are complaining about you making Dota 2 comics.
All we want you to do is to go back to making quality comics about TF2, you know, an actual good game.

[url=#user_comment_282790]@Vulpis[/url]: Having multiple connected pages of crap just means you have a longer piece of crap. If you don't know the character traits and gameplay nuances, these Dota comics may as well be in a different language. At least TF2 comics make sense with a surface understanding of the game.

Well, you can't be a true nerfnow fan if you absolutely don't appreciate some of his work.
Also, stop raging about this, idiots. Most of you started liking nerfnow when it was tf2-only or sc2-only, but for some reason you started raging when Jo started playing dota and nerfnow became dota-only.

I find it amusing when people complain about 'too many' dota comics, since they probably started liking nerfnow when it almost exclusively did TF2 comics. I enjoy the mix of multiple games, and the dota comics have been really funny, keep it up!

Ah. Having read the comments, it all makes sense now.
It wasn't obvious that this and the previous (~3) comics were meant to be part of a mini-arc.

The joke here is obviously that CM was always losing because she plays support, then she gets a special courrier, which suspiciously gets killed, triggering a murderous rage where she kills the enemy team and stops losing.

I'm not even a TF 2 player but those comics were accessible and made sense in some way (and used to be funny).
Dota 2 on the other hand is anything but. MOBA are the worst games, attract the worst community and the comics about it seem to fit it percectly.

I don't understand it ether. Maybe Dota comics are less accessible than TF2 ones. And both TF2 and Dota comics are held mostly by the characters, not the games themselves.

pudge was careless in watching out for the courier.
cm gets pissed and takes pudge's place in mid. pudge ends up with being the support as indicated by wards(which have been already used several times in the comic, shame on those who didnt get it, unless your new of course).
then she zaps the

eh if your actually paying attention to the recent comics, you'd know this was a continuation from the courier cm got.
cm received a courier and used the courier to deliver pudge a bottle.
then the courier got killed by the one at mid, most likely sniper(the guy holding the gun). also likely that
I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably being stupid here, but I'm a long time DotA player, and while I always got the comics before, I have no idea what the joke is here.
