I've yet to hear a joke that needed to be explained that was funny. Draw what you want, most of your DOTA comics are more or less inside jokes though. I've never played TF2 yet can get the TF2 comics because most of the jokes in them are things that most any gamer will know.

In DOTA, the hero Kunkka (left) has a skill called Tidebringer, which is a passive cleave that causes splash damage around the primary target. In the comic, the hero Tide Hunter (right) is giving Kunkka a piece of cake. When he tries to cut it, his cleave activates and splatters the cake everywhere.

Eh, I've made peace with the facts that:

As a player of both TF2 and Dota 2, they are both good games in their own respect. If Jo wants more Dota 2 comics, make him draw them. He's just attempting to please the crowd.

Not that I'd stop reading unless the jokes themselves get worse, but I'm a lot more patient than most of the Internet. I think Jo's taking a risk and the contradiction between "I can't do X because I lose readers" and "I'll do Y even if a lot of people hate it" isn't helping him any.
George
over 11 years ago
I think X's point is important- too much DOTA2 could cost Jo readers, and he's already said he doesn't do arcs because of the readership drop. It would be a little hypocritical to take a stand about one-shot game mechanics jokes after dropping good storytelling for the sake of page views.

The problem is some people dont get the jokes.
I mean, this started mostly as TF2 comics, there are more TF2 than DOTA fans.

Although i understand TF2 more than DOTA i still find both your TF & DOTA comics great. You don't tell people how to do their jobs so why should they tell you how to do yours.
Although, If you do,
Shame, Shame on you Jo.

Obviously you need a crossover comic, TF2 girls in DOTA2, and DOTA2 girls in TF2.
Either that, or multiple comics a day.

Well said Jo:)
I've been reading your comics since they were barely in the triple digits, and hope to read them when they are well in their fourth. I've seen you do comics on games I knew, and some I didn't, and followed them everyday. So draw what you want to draw

@My Name: No one is going to stop Jo from making Dota2 comics but it is unfortunate that some (regular) readers wont get the joke because they simply havnt played Dota2.

Dota 2 it seems like the heroes in the game have lots of character to them, with all the lore, tons of rivalry/ally chat, and 4 unique abilities each. That gives you a ton of material to build comics with. TF2 has a ton of character sure, but you really have to dig for it after a certain point.

@My Name: That is why people are bitching about X comics being better than Y comics, TF2 and SC where a lot more mainstream games so people will get more references.
I for one didnt understand the joke and had to look it up in the comment section, this is unfortunate

Always draw what you want. I'm not going to hate you any more or less because you're drawing games I don't like to play.

The difference between Dota 2 and TF2 is that most people reading this comic have played TF2 at one point and will get the jokes about that.
Most people, it seems, have not played Dota2 enough to get the joke.

Thanks for the action taken, Jo. No matter what the game, even if we understand it or not, as long as it's NerfNow, I'm fine with it. You could some help though.

But I'd advise you against deleting comments here and there, it'll take your precious time with no result at all (when you're done, there will always be more to delete the next day). Just leave these dumbasses be.

There are significantly better web comics out there for you to enjoy. If you don't like DOTA 2, you can always stop wasting your time here.

A suggestion:
Put a "spoiler" section where you explain the joke to the dumbasses. Either that or let them flame. I know it ticks off, I've been an admin to a forum and trolls/flamers ran rampant there. I lost count on how many I banhammered away, but they'll just keep coming.

Good decision Jo. Regardless of the subject, you've got a great style and sense of humor. Even when I don't understand the specifics of the comic, I usually find them to be worth reading and very entertaining.

@Some guy: Take the last TF2 comics, for example though. There were two panels dedicated to the explanation of what teleporters were. Thus, people that don't play TF2 can understand it. The joke is also independent of the game: nekkid guys is horrifying. This comic is: cakes explode.
[url=#user_comment_248859]@Software2[/url]: I have a real life of mine, he is an old school gamer and he never got most of TF2 joke, not even the "obvious" one.

I think the big problem a lot of us have is that these jokes don't make any sense unless you've played the game. Like this one... Why is it funny that when he went to cut the cake it exploded? Knives don't do that normally, and there is nothing in the comic to indicate why that happened.
