Icefrog happened...

Oh god. Just when I was hoping we would be free of the DOTA/LOL (which one is it anyway?) strips that infect this otherwise fun webcomic like a cancerous blight festering on the body.

I'm happy valve nerfed broody, she was so fucking annoying, unkillable by the whole team. But guys, didn't you notice an imba Lion aghanim change? And I guess the next strip will be about new heroes, won't it?

Well some of these make sense. Sniper, as ridiculous as his range is, is finally an actual sniper so his lore makes more sense. The Brood change is completely justified, she won't be less annoying because of this, she just can't use cheap, uncounterable-without-mass-stun tactics any more.

I think Sniper's compensating for something.

though i suppose it's hard for the two to not mirror each other, when you consider some of the people who worked on LOL originally worked on the dota mod.

Oh boy, buff to bloodseeker, great.

[url=#user_comment_341636]@awesomknight[/url] based on when they came out LOL would technically be a copy of the dota mod which was released in 2003, LOL's was announced in 2008 and released in 2009. though i'm just taking this data from wikipedia, as i don't care enough to research further. so it's entirely possibly it's wrong.

We all know in 6.81 sniper will have +500 range on take aim,
Meepo gets ulti at level 1,
Axe HP regen increased to 5,
Upheaval channelable infinitely.

And i've just seen
Crystal Maiden
- Movement speed decreased from 280 to 275

OMG, Broodmother is the new Drow. A good player appers, squash a couple noobs and BAM. "Nerf pls". Some tips for you who think she was broken.
-Quelling Blade
-Earthshaker
-Sniper ult
-Bounty Hunter ult
-Jakiro
and the list goes on...

[url=#user_comment_341646]@BoozeHound[/url]: Just ward her, are you serious? If there are any trees nearby (which isn't that rare) she doesn't care at all if someone sees her. The changes are very needed.

why nerf broodmother? you just ward her and you're set! Nerf the goddamn Huskar for chrissakes!!

Hey! glad you're on track to feeling better! :D

Does the double McMeepo come with a large side of fries Jo? And how much will it cost?

Fuck it, I'll still play Brood, I can think of ways to slip away.

Tentacles wear glasses?

Are you kidding me?? I like Broodmother! Making an entire lane into a scene from Lord Of The Rings or something is just the best. Half the time I just watch my enemies hesitate and run in and out of the web, trying to lure me out or test if I'm there.

[url=#user_comment_341633]@SteventheSlayer[/url]: Every game is just a copy of an older game.

Time to get my top-lane game on with Sniper!

Also, if they're gonna nerf poor Broodmother like that when she's already UP, they might as well just remove her from the game.

Poor Brood. She only wants to protect her babies and kill everyone.

Also, what's with people not being able to get along? They are two different games with different heroes, different skills, and different items.

Btw, saying Dota is a copy cat is wrong, just like saying it about LoL is wrong.

Wow! The last days have been pretty crazy for you, Jo.

Great job as always and keep up the good work, pal!

...Hope you'll get better soon so we can get MOAR fanservice! =D

@Seductive Hobo: Don't put your hopes too high man.

[url=#user_comment_341623]@SomeCoolDude[/url] There, there, I know it hurts to support the copycat franchise. But if it's any consolation, DOTA 2 will at least always be 2nd best.

Jo do you plan on doing anything more with sniper-tan/pyro guy? It's been forever since they were last seen.

Get well soon Jo ^_^

[url=#user_comment_341621]@Maphysto[/url] Oh, hey, look. Someone who's butthurt no one cares about LoL. I wonder how many more times he'll cry before he realises no one cares.

You look after yourself Jo, the internet needs you ! *hugs*

Oh, hey, look.

It's another strip about that game that's not LoL.

Wonder how many more of these he'll make before he realizes no one cares.

Glad to read that (almost all good) news. :)

First!
Get well soon Jo
