[url=#user_comment_281499]@Death[/url] But support cm actually needs blink dagger and bkb to ravage the enemy team with her ult. Agha's a bit overkill, though.

For fuck's sake, people, the couriers respawn after three minutes. I haven't seen this much public grieving since Michael Jackson died.

Appearance of this courier in the previous strip actually made me trade for it. So happy now :3
Also, some players want to kill a courier so much, they even dive towers and get killed instead.

I'm really worried with several people's INT level here. This is a simple webcomic about a girl who ordered her beloved courier to bring something to her friend and got killed in front of her eyes.

I don't even play DOTA and I got the joke. Heck I don't play TF2 and I got the jokes too.

The moral of the story

Never give a bad rating to something made by valve, they may act like they're sorry you feel that way, but it's all part of their plot for revenge.

Insert now-standard comment and/or complaint about DoTA comics.

Although, seriously, this is a good comic because the humor isn't lost on anyone unfamiliar with the game. We've all had similar experiences in other games where we need a unit to get somewhere and it dies 5 seconds after leaving..

I miss the DOTA2 comics. It's been a while since we had any. Though it's nice to have some TF2 comics and engie and Jo.

[url=#user_comment_281451]@Johnson[/url] He writes about comics about the games he plays. No more, no less. [url=#user_comment_281479] @sailoryue[/url] You lose it for three minutes, until which he respawns with all the items he carried when he died. However, the opposing team also gets a fair bit of gold when they kill it.

so... is it gone for good? or is it like a item that just ends up back in your inventory, and only what he was carrying lost?

If you're using a special skin for a courier, and he gets killed, you lose him?

I don't understand you Jo. For fan service's sake, shouldn't you be making comics about LoL rather than Dota2?

I remember as a kid watching that happy movie about a mama deer and her cute baby-boy deer. Then mama goes into the woods and -Blam- hunter's gonna have deer steak tonite!!!

Childhood trauma.... great for making character!

At least the little thing had a fulfilling life: Used for bribery, hugged, used as courier, killed, respawn in 3min. Circle of life.

Just don't forget to rate your game, CM.

[url=#user_comment_281350]@Zealous[/url] I think one of the biggest reasons is because she is a support that can only BE support, and is pointless without her team. Sure, she deals some damage, but her skills are mostly used to disrupt the enemy, and even to help directly her team. Most other supports can semi-carry. Not her.

CM is the first support that comes to mind when someone mentions support. I dont know why, she is not picked often or she doesnt some skills that makes her more support-like. It has always been with CM like this. CM is not a support, CM is the support role itself!

[url=#user_comment_281321]@Discrider[/url]: When you have a courier item, It lasts forever (You equip it like a helmet on Warcraft). when you activate a courier from your inventory ingame it will spawn it as whatever custom one you have.

[cont...]But either way, they're still quite funny, and to be honest, the TF2 well was running dry. In order to remain entertaining, a webcomic artist has to stay fresh, and for Jo, Dota 2 provides that route.
That said . . . sproink!

Now that I've played some Dota 2, I can say that these comics are pretty much exactly the same as the TF2 comics Jo started on. People who didn't play TF2 wouldn't have understood 90% of the jokes he made then, and those not playing Dota 2 won't understand 90% of the jokes he makes now.

So...

Are the courier skins that drop only one use skins?
Explain
almost 11 years ago
A courier is used to transfer items to heroes from the base so you don't have to go back yourself and the courier is realy easy to kill that gives 175 gold to all on your team and make the other team not have a courier in 3 min, so sniping the courier is something you want to do
