meh blademail
about 11 years ago
I dont really like blademail on axe, mainly because so many people use it so wrong....
they call someone and then activate blademail.... do you realize that you get +40 armor and taking minimum dmg, so that blademail is doing also almost zero dmg?

I don't play DOTA and it is a pretty obvious joke. His name is Axe but he's interested in swords online, drawing a similarity between seeing gay sex and being "curious" as he says.

indeed. sven himself(that guy behind axe) is a strength hero which translates to being tanky, while also being a carry himself.

[url=#user_comment_326121]@@TerLoki[/url]: A carry in Dota is not always need to be a high damage glass cannon. Some carries can be build tanky yet can potentially kill entire teams such as Spectre and Medusa

At least it makes sense. Really not that funny but at least it makes sense.

[url=#user_comment_326121]@TerLoki[/url]: Carries are heroes that typically have a weak early game phase, with abilities that are fairly useless on their own. They basically get more out of buying items than other heroes, and scale into lategame better than other heroes.

Build Force Staff And Dagon. You can destroy anybody below 1000 health. Snowball ferociously. Carry Axe with money from snowballing. Because sometimes, you just don't need a tank.

A "carry" is a character who is fragile, but deals extremely high damage late game if played right. Essentially they're supposed to carry the team to victory, hence the name.

@King Murdoc: Dude, stop wasting your time. It's costumary that some random dude will take on the "dealwithit" moniquer and diss on Dota2.

It's like a secret society of one-line trolls.

First of all, this isn't one of those "dur-hur DOTA comix sux" posts, this one is rather funny and I quite like it. But could someone please explain what the heck a "carry" is for the non-DOTA player?

[url=#user_comment_325715]@tits[/url]: The first Dota comic with no inside knowledge needed, and the most sexual one depending on how you see it. But you kids wouldn't get it, of course.

Dohoho... well played, Jo.
Also, I traded away my Nightmare Blade. Swords and sword-like weapons just don't sit right with my Axe.

I really dislike this new trend. It's becoming weird.

Akasha looks like Mortred with one cosmetic, Axe is having a scythe and Omniknight is bashing people with a giant axe.
Please, please, please Valve... Don't make DotA 2 into a hatfest. It's bad with Team Fortress 2, but you can deal with it.

I've a feeling that it got a deeper meaning in the joke, like swords are somesort of gay porn, and Axe is bicurious...make that that Sven is gay? O_o

my logic is un-logic
Chou

Axe has a Nightmare Blade, which looks like a giant knife, so he likes to experiment a bit. Also his new axe is more like a scythe.

@???!!!???: This isn't exactly incomprehensible. Axe is a warrior named Axe, and he exclusively uses axes. Sven is clearly a swordsmen and was looking at swords. Axe saw the swords, and he kind of liked seeing the swords, but then freaked out when someone saw him liking the swords.

There isn't a joke here, but it's still funny.

If you can imitate the voices it's quite hilarious.

wait axe is not a carry?

I don't get this.

Where's the joke?

As usual, Dota is incomprehensible to people who don't play Dota.

Only true men carry axes. Axe and Centaur are the proof. Sven is...well...special.

Axe, it's ok. We've all experimented once one time or another in our lifetime, so it's ok. I mean, I know it's a confusing time for you right now to find yourself, but I'll support you all the way... We're talking about weapons... right?

Incidentally, Axe does have a Blink Dagger cosmetic item. It doesn't go into his weapon slot though. :B

[url=#user_comment_325552]@4tran[/url]: Usually you need an steroid ability (like critical damage) to be a carry.
