I find it funny how nobody complains when there are TF2 comics, despite the fact that DOTA has a much larger player base (Hell, DOTA2 is still closed off without invite, yet more than doubles TF2's player count daily).
DOTA isn't obscure, ya'll need to expand your libraries beyond TF2 and WoW.

You mean about the series? Well he can't do that, that's not a game. No matter how obscure or specific some jokes are, they're still about games.

I won't ever understand why people are raging like "too much dota 2 comics, fuck". This guy is doing comics for free, and because he maybe LIKES DOING IT. What's wrong seriously, do your own comics if you're not happy...

I used to like LoL but then I played DotA 2 and it made me hate LoL's boring heroes. But I also hate DotA 2 because of the shitty controls compared to LoL and the way that most matches are curbstomps that last an hour because there's no surrender. So I hate both games but still play them.

In Diablo 1, 'The Butcher' also uses "Ahh...fresh meat!" when engaging the player. Considering, that he dropped his cleaver back then and fact of the scars of Pudge, it could be the butcher after his escape from the cathedral, now forced to use a hook.... the Illuminati might be also into this

Yeah, the sheer amount and variety of heroes in DotA is a huge plus. I really hope Jo keeps doing them. Splitting DotA and TF2 comics could be a way, but probably not really worth it for him. DotA2 has three times the playerbase of TF2 and it will only go up, while TF2 will only go down.
Krem
over 12 years ago
When I look at those complains and then compare TF2 to DotA... there's much more satirical potential in DotA, based on there's vast variety of characters (I'm playing for months and yet I've not even heard of a half of them)

No, we started following this comic because it was about TF2. Other gaming comics do every joke here, and let's be honest, often times better. But to get one that consistently covers our favorite game? It fills a niche we were craving. These dota comics are not interesting to me at all.

For those who don't get this, Pudge uses hook to grab enemies and bring them close then uses his ult "dismember" while saying "hahah fresh meat". In this case he hooks a skeleton, an undead hero then wisp, a hero made of energy.
