1:never chose ?RANDOM? ever again
2:chose one of the top ten heroes of Dota 2

There are no bad heroes, there are heroes you didn't found how to play. My friend plays as meepo like: 1 base, 1 farm forest, 1-2 push lane. Not that it owns, but you can always make something good from hero. And brood is, like, 10 min lane destroyer -_-

It's a lovely hero to random. Insta soul ring, and all the regen you need in your cozy web

BM isn't horrible. Stay pleb

[url=#user_comment_258684]@yan[/url] But pudge has boobs

@Black Arachnia

Yeah no...

Broodmother is an amazing hero.
She just applies so much pressure and lane control, effectively turning the whole lane into her home and making the other team want to break out the Mortein.
She just requires a bit of game sense, and careful inventory checking so you know when sentries are bought.

Oh God, SO MANY CLAIMS!

[url=#user_comment_258747]@VW[/url]: I'm sorry, I should not have done that rant on this comic, I should have done it on another comic.

You random brood? Better go into the jungle and start swarming the enemy! : D

[url=#user_comment_258900]@sigterm[/url]: U Mad bro ??? last time TF2 dominating the archive before so dont complain it Keep it Peace :)

Ursa on the other hand is kind of like brewmaster, except he needs to be in meele range to do anything. This leaves him extremely prone to kiting. But he also carries into the lategame a lot better than brewmaster can ever hope to do. He's not useless, you just don't see him often.

Huskar is a weird one though. His ulti is great against tanky carries (like necro, spectre, ursa etc.), and his harrass during the laning phase is just purely awesome (if you didn't already know, the dot stacks).

[url=#user_comment_258819]@bob[/url]: Bloodseeker is not bad. He wins the lane. And he wins it hard if you know how to play him. You can even go up against 2 opponents as solo and still completely zone them out from getting any lasthits. The NTH vs. RDM match showed that in a great way.

The first comment here says everything..
all heroes are good for some roles... but not all players can play for all heroes... I'm bad with many supports... except Dazzle and Omni knight

this is the reason why dota 2 sucks

I like random because it gives me more gold, the only hero I cant play is meepo because of the hotkey i set, random is basically a pretty good deal for me

Jo will make comics based off of what he wants to make them. He has no obligation to cater to those who whine purely over 'THIS ISN'T MY GAME WAH WAH'. Jo has made it obvious before that he primarily prefers DotA comics, and the one time he even tried to make a mini-arc that went badly as well.

[url=#user_comment_258900]@sigterm[/url]: You whining faggots are more obnoxious than all the Dota 2 strips.

Way too many dota strips lately. If this site became devoted to dota, it would make sense to mention this somewhere - so people that aren't interested in dota wouldn't bother coming again.

[url=#user_comment_258886]@NP[/url]: Broodmother is one of the ultimate pub heroes. Anyone support with half a brain would buy sentry wards within the first few seconds of laning against her. It effectively turns her into a shitty melee carry with a mediocre nuke and low hp and no escape.

this is why league sucks

Why would Brood be a bad hero? I've gotten several wins with her as long as you abuse the Spider webs at the start of the game. [url=#user_comment_258819] @bob[/url]: Bloodseeker is Pub tier. A person can carry the team as him if given the circumstances. Either way, he won't win any any tourney unless the player is that good.

To the non-DotA players: Elise is DotA's Karma.

[url=#user_comment_258747]@VW[/url] ...then again is this was a statement about Dota with no jokes in it, it is once again quite pointless for people who dont play Dota. I never played TF2, still found all the old strips funny, they never required explanation.

[url=#user_comment_258747]@VW[/url] Yeah but thats kinda ruining the joke though. If you have to explain a joke, you shoudnt tell it in the first place. Mind you, I dont think this was a joke as much as a statement about Dota. I mean I would have gotten it without the explanation but I dont think it was meant to be funny.

Screw dota.

@Just another badie: Bloodseeker.
There, one hero who is bad on all levels.

Also, Alchemist and Spirit Breaker used to be terrible before the "recent" buffs.

And Huskar + Ursa are useless outside of pubstomping, which they are very good at.

Still waiting for someone to put a photo note making it "Would you kindly?"

Well, it's already been pointed out, but there are no bad heroes. None. The game's been out for years (In the form of the wc3 mod) and as such has been subject to countless balance changes. There exists heroes you could arguably call underpowered and overpowered, but knowing the hero is the key.

[url=#user_comment_258783]@steve[/url] <-- sparta.

[url=#user_comment_258783]@steve[/url] <-- is.

[url=#user_comment_258783]@steve[/url] <-- this.

lol weeks later and there are still nerds demanding you create comics according to their likes.

KEEP DOING WHATEVER YOU WANT, YOUR COMICS ARE FUNNY!

Please, keep making comics of whatever you want. I don't play dota but I can still get the jokes.

[url=#user_comment_258768]@Mark[/url]: Didn't Joe say he was going to delete comments like yours? He really needs to get back to doing that. This is clever, free entertainment, and you're annoyed over the subject matter. Give it a rest, buddy.

D: poor broodmom, is so useless

Meepo ftw

Please, stop posting DOTA2 comics. At least for a while.

Pretty common to see messages like "report drow for picking drow", but noone will blame you if you random it. And more respect if you playing good with random hard hero.

Dude one time i swa meepo and the truth i really liked to play with him. A great hero like invoker

[url=#user_comment_258743]@Freezestar[/url]: He LITERALLY explains the joke in this one.

@Null/Void: Do you know what Sentry wards and AOE heroes are? Congratulations u just hard countered Broodmother!

I gotten slardar 4x in a row with randoming, dominated those matchs thou

Random Wisp Ftw. Could have been a Meepo.

I don't mind that he makes dota 2 comics. But I mind that he is making dota 2 comics with jokes that only people who play dota 2 get.

Did you seriously imply that Broodmom is bad?

lelcomedygold am i right guys? xDxDxDxDxDxDxD

I don't think random is a bad thing. I almost always random because I like to gamble it and mostly because I can't choose from so many picks. But I don't like playing Pudge for example and I can't play microheavy heroes so why not swap them if someone can. Also you'll keep the gold.

[url=#user_comment_258614]@verto[/url]: Meanwhile, Spirit Breaker

What if the hero isn't bad but just something you aren't so good with and someone else might handle it better? That's the rationalization, at least. Of course if you random, you should just deal with it.

That is a butt indeed,quite a butt
it is a butt of some description
also that is cleavage there
and let's not forget the existence of that skirt-to-overknee bare skin,that exists indeed
yes
that is true

Bad hero or bad player? I can't understand people who try random and then ask for swap or just repick immediately. Hurr Durr. Even funnier if you get another hero that you don't like. If you random, you must know you can get a hero that you don't want. Isn't it obvious? Come on...

Thanks for explaining the whole thing :3

Brood mother is fun though, especially spitting all those trees away with webbing :3

Meepo is farm everywhere at once and multi p00f attack :D

1 pick up random hero
2 meepo time
3 ?????
4 profit

[url=#user_comment_258665]@mindfaQ[/url]: Repicking a random Shadow Fiend is bad enough, but repicking a random morphling means you don't like winning.

[url=#user_comment_258700]@Caution[/url]: It's only 100 gold less, 603 gold for normal pick to 503 gold for repick. And randomed heroes start with 853 gold, so they lose 350 gold for repicking a randomed hero.

[url=#user_comment_258684]@yan[/url]: CM, QOP and Lina are quite popular in lower skill levels, as far as I can tell. CM is an easy to play support, Lina and QoP pretty straight forward and not hard to play nukers/support. I see them quite often, tbh.

You can repick if you don't like the Hero, be warned that repicking will leave you 150 gold less than the gold you pick normally and the bonus random gold was lost as well

You get extra gold for randoming?

Well, file that under shit I wish I knew 2 months ago.

@perfect micro skillz.

my little brother played meepo once and won with 28K and 0D :]

You get extra gold for randoming?

Well, file that under shit I wish I knew 2 months ago.

If you think you random a bad hero you should open your eyes and realise that recently heroes considered bad were picked in comp and played successfully.

Id totally hit that Broodmother.

Sorry Jo but CM, QOP and Lina aren't popular, the only popular boobs are windrunner and drow : http://dotabuff.com/heroes/played

People prefer solokill pub stompers

Nothing wrong with Broodmother if your lineup can play the 4v4/4v5 while Brood splitpushes and punishes the opponents.

I like how they seem to like DOTA2, but also make it seem worse than LOL.

step 1: random meepo
step 2: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
step 3: finishing K/D/A 0/99/2

in some games i always choose random, like SSB. in TF2 on the other hand i dont, mainly because i aready use a difficult class. ze combat medic

I play most heroes, so I use the random option from time to time. But I can't bring myself to play Shadow Fiend or Morphling, so if noone swaps them, I ofc will repick.

I would swap if i randomed too.

otherwise no.

@:(: Brood is just unpopular because she's normally dedicated to split pushing a single lane, is easily countered by AoE and detection, and forces your team to 4v5 which isn't very smart in pubs

Broodmother is statistically the hero with the lowest average win ratio in all the game. Not that the hero is bad, just that it lose more often. Also, it's not a good pick in tournament metagame.

why are you a tentacle?

You need to be a faggot to only play EZ as shit heroes like waifurunner, lina, crystal slut or QoP.
Real men play micro heroes, or are you a sissy crybaby chat can't only push 3 buttons?

What's wrong with Broodmother? D:

Damn it! Some many good photo note jokes, yet I just can't think anything to write here.

Shame on me!

So, are you saying that if you random a hero you don't like, you should instantly repick? Or are you saying that swap/repick should't be done and you want to have a random Meepo on your team?

[url=#user_comment_258637]@Anonymous[/url]: There are no bad heroes, just not enough vodka.

@ : she is not eating him, she's laying ON him and noming just his head.

There are no bad heroes. Merely challenging choices. And people incapable of handling them.

[url=#user_comment_258624]@anon[/url]: broodmother is actually eating (nom nom nom) dat Random Guy.

No one wanna swap with me? OKay
- Repick
- Pick Carry

Make a comic about the tutorial or i'll kill a kitten.

Guys who random and ask for a swap go to instamute. Dont random if you dont want to play any of the heros. Or have the guts to repick.

I'm not sure if you're calling Broodmother a bad hero, which would be insane, or if the joke is that she's an ugly monster while Windrunner is a sexy minx.

But Broodmother is a nice hero :V

There are no bad heroes, only bad players.
