hehehe meepo looks like a ireland rabbit

At rick: No it is not since everyone has 10 accounts so they get that free reward. In reality their playerbase is not that big

That police officer is actually the fifth meepo in disguise holding a sceptre!

[url=#user_comment_234899]@█████[/url]: That one was actually explained underneath the comic though.

[url=#user_comment_234460]@datsexybitch[/url]: I understood the comic. I was using it as an example of a reference that someone might not get.

Lol. Identifying PL can be tricky as well.

if youre using # of players as quality of game, call of duty is the best game ever made
please no

Hey, I understood this one without having to read comments!

[url=#user_comment_234414]@█████[/url]: The word RO can mean Red Orchestra (A WWII game), or Ragnarok online (Just a guess by clothes and hat) which happens to be an MMO.

[url=#user_comment_234057]@noobs[/url]: If we are using # of players = quality of game, then LoL is the best MOBA ever made.

[url=#user_comment_234259]@Anon[/url]: RPG are totally shit then.

Here's the thing:
Nerf Now is primarily a gaming comic, there are going to be a lot of references; some of which people won't be familiar with.

Why's she dressed like a houri with a rock on her head?

...wtf?

Dear Whiners,
Jo draws the comics that he wants to draw. You can read them or not read them. Bitching about a certain theme or game appearing in too many comics changes nothing.

Does the last panel really need text?

[url=#user_comment_234057]@noobs[/url]: Everyone knows that ARTS games are for people slow in the head who can't handle more than 1 unit at a time.

#Dotanow.com

[url=#user_comment_234232]@Wolfzoon[/url]: So like that. Make another site "DotaNow", or simply nernow/dota even, and link back and forth. Jo, you shoulud really think about this. Or at least put a poll up on the front page to see if people would want this.

[url=#user_comment_234093]@Freezestar[/url]: This. Take this strip for example from another artist who pays rent with his comic: www.ma3comic.com She(he?) really liked some of her characters, and wanted to make more strips with them. Made 3 so far, linked on the main page, and they all update whenever.

(cont) to pick up from just art work, or at least specific magical aspects. A TF2 chars, Diablo, Starcraft are pretty obvious. If there were 6 diff mages in D3 i think the same problems would be present.

[url=#user_comment_233924]@Serenity[/url]: Can't agree more with the last comment. Jokes about certain rare guns in TF2 arnt funny unless you get it. But the personalities of engie tan heavy etc are great. Personalities for these blighters would be cool if they were introduced. I think the problem is magic isnt an easy trait..

@I Got It Wrong: Ditto. [url=#user_comment_233940] @Lama051[/url]: Because they still require basic game knowledge. It's not obvious the midget with a shovel who has been called both OP and food in previous comics also has a copy ability.

Do as you wish as an artist. You may have complaints but those who love you for your style will keep watching like me. Jokes are jokes no matter what their about just try to find the time to understand them.

Hero Adblock says: "Denied"

Fuck Meepo.

More Dovahkiin please.

[url=#user_comment_234093]@Freezestar[/url] stop the "OMG I DON'T GET BETA CAN'T PLAY THIS COMIC MUST STOP I DON'T UNDERSTAND" Just go to playdota forum and ask nicely for a beta key. they're not the nicest people but someone will give you. or you know,you can download dota1 map and L2P from it. not too different fromdoto2

have you ever thought that jo is the most glorious winged troll in these parts?... all those comics are just a enormous troll to his fanbase

[url=#user_comment_234111]@Freelance[/url]: Another Dota joke. Meepo can clone himself.

What's a Meepo?

However we all feel about the comic, I think we can all agree that Jo's strip commentary should have read "It was the one-armed Meepo!"

Meepo is the best character in all DotA2.
I installed DotA2 only to play as Meepo, since playing him feels extremelly similar to playing Warcraft3 (moving multiple tropes around, trying to make your best time, etc.).

The fact I always end 1/9/3 is complete unrelated. :p

[url=#user_comment_234090]@IvanK[/url]: Well he does not have to do three comics everyday, its just a nice way to categorize things

Divided stand, united we die, getting echo slammed and sun striked at first sight!

The meepo song :D

[url=#user_comment_234064]@Freezestar[/url]: Do you really think Jo will have enough time for that?

The ult is called Divided we Stand you stupid br cunt.

[url=#user_comment_234061]@Kraid[/url]: In this case Meepo is a character that multiplies permanently.

There is nothing inherently wrong with DotA comics. It just kind of spoils the humor if you have to look up an explanation of the punchline to get the joke.

Insider comics are hilarious to those familiar with the content, but boring for those that aren't.

Is Meepo not wearing pants?

No, fuck that, lets just let Jo do what he wants, I find the dota comics entertaining anyway.

After seeing all of this fighting I may have a solution that would make everyone happy (maybe). What if Jo splits comics into two comics (maybe three), one that is just Dota comics (that way Jo can make jokes that only Dota fans would get) and one for the other comics (maybe one for just tf2).

Dota also has tons and tons of free passes and is still rather new. numbers don't mean a damn. Also, if managing what to use during each fight and responding to what your opponents do doesnt require a brain, then you're just being a hypocrite

*sigh* I hate comments like "Fuck off Fanboys" and all that. All honesty though, I understood the comic despite not actually playing DOTA.

A character got attacked by someone who can either a) multiply, b) disguise or c) copy.

Fuck off TF2 fanboys, dota has 4 times the number of players your shitty game has and it's not even released. You're all noobs who can't play a game that actually needs a brain to play unlike that mindless casual hat simulator

stop qqing about not being in beta,
i have 4 keys here, gimme your emails

[url=#user_comment_234037]@Freezestar[/url]: (although I am sure that there are people like that), its that we want jokes that we can get, and that if we want to get the jokes, we either can't because we are not it the beta, or because the game (in my opinion) is not the nicest game if you are a new player.

[url=#user_comment_234033]@Freezestar[/url]: jokes about a game that not everyone can play and that if you want to play, it has a steep learning curve. I have played the game, and a lot of the time I did not know what to do. So its not that we want less Dota comics because we hate Dota ...

Another vote for the 5th

For people who think that people who want less Dota comics hate Dota let me say this. While I don't hate Dota, I don't like it when I read a video game related comic that I like and it makes a joke I don't get, its ok if it is just one comic, but look at last month, 10 Dota comics. Plus he is making

[url=#user_comment_234023]@Me[/url]: The lusty argonian maid had her own personality. wasn't just a bland one-shot, and it was funny even if you didn't know where it came from.

Man, DOTANow sucks so hard. Wake me up when you're back to writing comics about different games.

There wouldn't be so much Dota haters if Jo only used female characters. Noone complained about The Lusty Argonian Maid either when Jo used her in his comics.
Besides, this is 30 times more fun than those stupid TF2 arcs. POW HAHA and SPY HERE went ancient about 300 comcis ago.

Goodbye, DotaNow.

The descriptions of DotA gameplay make it seem like the most exotic game ever.

You forgot to put the 5th Meepo, the one that is created with Aganhim...

Except, was the 5th Meepo that ganked Traxex

*looks at the comment section*

DotA haters, nothing new

DOTA comics are great and everybody who disagrees is a hater! Keep at it!

Im tellin ya it was the 5th one!

you went from drawing very cartoony meepo (in that 'russian meepo' comic) to realistic meepo (in the 'lies people may tell you' comic) and now you kinda mixed both up.
I think I like this one more.
Also I love the way you drew drow.

So many Meeposhit comics, more PlanetSide 2 comics or I will never read again!!!11!1

Too much dota. Boring.

Why do people complain? I doubt this needs more explanation other then what a Gank is, and what Meepo does.

Why do you guys keep on complaining about Dota comics? They hardly require any higher than basic game knowledge. Also they are quite funny.

It is not like you guys are forced to read those is it now?

5fth meepo is missing!

As long as there're sexy jiggly boobs, fine by me.

As time progresses, this strip will contain nothing but 100% Meepo content.

I thought this was a joke about an entire team of people playing the same character until I read the comments. The real joke is not as funny as the one in my head.

[url=#user_comment_233830]@grewupondota[/url]: If there's so many people complaining, maybe it's time for a change.

(oops, typoed name last time, cont) It doesn't matter what the comics about, if strips abut all games started being like this it'd still be getting just as bad. Like if Jo threw out TF2 character personalities and went to making nothing but inside jokes based on weap stats and abilities. Would suck.

(cont) and everything that made it lighthearted and fun. It's not the DotA 2 comics ruining it, it's how the comics are handled. Constant oneshots and puns based on in depth game and character ability knowledge, with no emotion or attitude. It's becoming increasingly bland.

@Red R Hood: This, exactly this. dota2 comics aren't bad once in a while, and having them often would be more tolerable if the characters had their own characterizations like Engie-tan and the rest, rather than just being based on in depth game knowledge. The strip's losing it's personality and feel

I FUCKING KNEW IT.

Dota comics are fine and all, but they would be better if you would personalise them more. TF2 doesn't have Medic-chan, that was author embellishment on the original characters.
Game commentary and jokes are good, but if you had a stable and unique dota cast it would be better I think.

@Kleene Onigiri: Bingo. All we have is dotadotadotadota. Not only they demolished indie gaming by making clones after clones, but now NerfNOW too.

The people that complain about Dota 2 comics don't even try to understand them or give them a chance to find it funny. Because you just simply don't want them.

There are a lot of people who like the comics.
So keep it up Jo! \o/

I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME AND I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING COMIX ABOUT IT

THEY MAKE ME LAF SO MUCH I PISS MYSELF
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Sorry officer, but he had a Aghanim scepter...
mother of god...

[url=#user_comment_233860]@Turkashi[/url]: Meepo is a hero that his special whole gimmick is that his ultimate makes 1/2/3/4 copies of himself, one dies and they all die. Also his core item (aghs) gives him +1 meepo (2/3/4/5 meepos). His based around micro one clones into ganks while others farm. Or do a train.

Haven't see explanation below, anyone can explaon plz? Is meepo the vendor?

Yeah, too much problem with these DOTA2 comics

...

BETTER NERF IRELIA

TF2 comics all stem on the defined personalities of the 9 characters and whatever Gaben throws at us over time. Dota comics stem from the undefined personalities of the 100+ characters. There's a lot more room for creativity. How many times are we going to see a "lol it was spy! XDDDDD"

I hope Gaben releases Half Life 3 soon, not because I've been waiting for it for so long, but so Jo will do something other than DOTA2 for one comic.

Kinda surprised he went two comics without it, I thought one would cause his lungs to start collapsing until he started scripting a DOTA followup.

Not gonna lie... I find most of the Dota 2 comics funny, but I also agree that they're getting old. TF2 comics at least had defined characters, these are just "game mechanics joke" "game balance joke" "gameplay joke" "repeat cycle".

DOTA 2 comics are funny and they're not an inside jokes. Stop complaining.

I can't understand all the hate for the dota comics. As far as the jokes go they aren't any worse than the TF2 ones were. As for people saying that even though they've played dota they still can't understand the jokes. That's pathetic.

It makes me sad every time I check the comments and see so many people complaining about the DotA comics.

Keep it up Jo, love them!

can I meepo?

i have perfect micro skils

I don't mind the dota comics but when there's too many I just feel a bit lost.

Though seriously I started reading Nerf Now when there was more veriety happening and this is getting a bit "old" feeling.

Have been an avid reader since the beginning, but I"m finally dropping this comic from my feed. Too many bad dota2 comics. Pity, this used to be a good comic.

I don't get it...

*scrolls down in comments

Oh, ok, a multi-scepter clone thing. Like a mirror images joke in WoW, I guess.

Stop whining about DOTA comics, I never even played DOTA and I find them funny.

Anyways, this comic contradicts the previous one where playing a meepo = feeding other players.

I have to agree with the others commentors, the DotA 2 comics are getting very old, very quickly. A few every once in a while is fine, but they are just old. I liked the TF2 ones way better.

first dota comic i didnt get until the comments. and it was bad after that too. better new year than this for all of you!

Now I don't think you listen to the comments, but I think a lot of other people who like Nerf Now would agree that you should do less Dota comics.

@Freezestar (misspelled name, whoops) These Dota 2 comics however make a lot of references to things that some of us don't get. Heck, I have even played Dota 2 and I don't get these references. All I see from this comic now is Dota jokes and you trying to give your opinion through jokes or straight.

I am going to have to ask you to stop making Dota 2 comics. These jokes are getting boring. When you made the Starcraft arc I thought it was funny but it was just one arc (and some other Starcraft comics later) and you never made any references to the series that people would not get. ...

@Meepo#3: Shut up Meepo

So many Dota 2 comics, more New Year comics or I will never read again!!!11!1

Aaand right back to the boring Dota 2 insider jokes.

this is the reason why dota 2 sucks

Drow Ranger deserved it.

Ha! Little do the police know, I've got the MULTI-MEEPO SCEPTER!

Meepo? Gank? Ha.

Obviously that was 5th Meepo who did it.

i'd like to add that the only thing his copies can't copy the full inventory. only boots.

although, it's kill one meepo = kill all meepo.

@I don't even: Meepo is a hero/champ that has an ultimate which makes a semi-perfect copy of him (not illusions) which look exactly alike and has the same set of abilities.

Can somebody explain this? I'm completely lost on this one.

"ganked"... "GANKED", you mean "RAPED"

[url=#user_comment_233735]@PUDGE[/url]: Couldn't agree more

MEEPO LOOKS LIKE A CRACK SELLER IN DOTA 2

What's up Meepo?

Hey meepo
