@Kilgore Trout: Thank you.

I can see why people would be annoyed seeing that, but why NOT do a strategy when it works.

@Bill: You'll be surprised by the amount of players who forgot their objective when playing MOBA. Seen lots of games where opponent lose to us when holding the ridiculous gold advantage and has 10+ more team kills.

I don't get the hate for what Alliance did, rat dota is a legit tactic. The goal of the game is to destroy the enemy base, not win all the clashes or kill the most heroes, those don't mean jack shit if you get your base destroyed. It was Navi's fault for not being able to defend their base well.

[url=#user_comment_346918]@Technature[/url]: I don't play DOTA but it's obvious a jab toward people who hates team of pro gamers who use boring but legit tactics to win the game. Like camping in CounterStrike....

[url=#user_comment_346924]@Kita[/url] You may wish so, but it isn't doing anything like that. There are just as many people posting and noting. In fact, Jo would know best how many people came and gone. His ad revenue is telling.

I love Morgan more and more each strip.

[url=#user_comment_346918]@Technature[/url]: Now if you're watching the game and you want to see the two teams fight one another, this can be boring and, as Alek said, can seem cowardly. But it works.

[url=#user_comment_346918]@Technature[/url]: Basically they use hit and run tactics. Instead of fighting the other team, they go after undefended spots and then run away when the other team shows up to try to stop them. Then they go after another undefended spot.

Joe, this is your conscience. Stop it with the original character do not steal, it is killing your comic.

[url=#user_comment_346918]@Technature[/url]: In a nutshell, the Alliance team avoids straight up fighting the other team if they can. They will sneak around hitting vulnerable targets and gaining XP that way, and then run away when the other team shows up to try to stop them, only to attack a different vulnerable target.

[url=#user_comment_346918]@Technature[/url]: I'll try to explain. The object of the game is basically to knock down all the other team's defenses and then destroy their base. You level up like in, say, WoW. You can get XP from killing members of the other team, or killing their supporting foot soldiers ("creeps")...

[url=#user_comment_346918]@Technature[/url]: I'll need multiple comments to explain it, but I'll give it a try. The object of the game is to knock down all the other team's defensive towers that are in your way, to get to their base and then blow THAT up. You can get XP and level up the hero you're playing in a number of ways.

[url=#user_comment_346917]@Wildcolt[/url]: Yes but nobody should complain when people find it absolutely not fun to watch. They can play however they want, we can hate them for it if we want too. :> [url=#user_comment_346918] @Technature[/url]: Split push = push 2 or 3 lanes at once. Playing like a rat = run away and hide when an enemy approches.

Any idea what the fuck they're saying? It's like I'm reading another language.

I'll never understand the hate of Alliance. IG sure didn't receive all this hate when they won TI2. Yea Alliance won with rat dota, but rat dota was and still is the meta. You don't enter the biggest tournament of the year and play for fun. Fun is a side effect.

This just proves that Morgan continues to be the best. :D

It took me over nine thousand games + this to realise why everyone hate me for playing to win, not to engage in some carry-measuring contest.

Rat dota is a legitimate strategy, that doesn't make it interesting to watch. Especially in an international final. Boooooriiing.

the benefit of doubt that he does know this and is just intentionally joking using this as a joke for the comic.
almost 10 years ago
as you could see, he's picked up various other heroes like centaur, nyx, batrider, DS, clock, BH and such.

also, a lot of teams nowadays have ratted more than alliance had this year, heck DK's only win against IG in WPC was through split pushing aka rat dota.
im gonna give Jo the benefit of

its clear that the people here have only watched that one game of alliance in the finale and nothing before or after that.
if anyone has even paid the slightest attention, alliance nowadays are more gank and team fight oriented. just take a look at bulldog's picks, no longer just furion/LD but

I used to really like Morgan as a character but this just feels wrong.
No matter how good Alliance are, they'll always be boring, annoying or cheap.
They tryhard incredibly badly in Pubgames and besides Loda are assholes personally.

I once had a game where we dominated the enemy team the whole game, ganking and killing them like nothing. We finished the game by 47 vs 24 kills, but they won. They had better pushers, pushed a lane while we were ganking the other one and ran away. On this day I understood what is really important.

I always have to laugh a little at people who cry about pro teams using legitimate strategies to win a game. I used to see this a lot in Counter-Strike. People would cry at us for camping the sites when on CT side. That is what you're supposed to do, btw x_x

Rat dota is annoying to play as, and not as fun as full on 5v5 teamfighting.

[url=#user_comment_346866]@Angryon[/url]: Not in dota2, but he is in dota1. The point is, lots of people hate Techies so Morgan loves it. She is the typical demoman spawmcamper.

[url=#user_comment_346863]@MangoMaster4[/url]: What? It was a pretty calm answer. I'm not trying to copy the original tf2 personalities so he finding it different is a plus. Also, the strips are about DOTA teams so I can't pick a Smite team for it.

One would've imagined the hipster persona to name a team from smite instead of dota though.
