I love all of your Dota 2 comics and the humor in this one is especially sweet considering doom is one of those heros that can turn the most esteemed caster into a welp running for their life. You can almost hear the Invoker laughing in the background on this one lolz!

I actually saw a Hanzo-dragon play of the day yesterday (on Sjin's Twitch stream) that killed 5/6 including their Mercy. The key was doing it through a wall so they couldn't see where it was coming from until it was slapping them in the face

Personally, I'm fine with Battleborn. I haven't really played vs there, but this blend of ARTS with FPS wroks better cooperatively.

If any character wipes your whole team with only an Ultimate in Overwatch, you have a shitty positioning - just like in MOBAs.

I should be envious that you got into the Overwatch beta and I didn't. But it looks like you got into the beta because you'll draw comics to publicize it.

@Matthew Horstman: because, in dota 2 at least, they need to repeat that 2-3 times before the enemy recovers.
also I cant really comment on overwatch since I havent checked it out, but in MOBA team wipes can happen multiple times but it doesnt automatically mean you win.

A part of me found the joke very amusing, but another part of me was looking ath WC's face on the second panel and thinking "Wow Jo, harsh..."

"However, it sometimes feel cheap to lose because one guy wiped half of your team by pressing one button."

I... what? You literally just described every MOBA. Why are you fine with it in those games, but not this?

the new dota event is a mockery to diretide

and worse of all, NO DROPS!
Valve has officainly gone the EA route of "fuck you, give me money"

"Ultimates", huh? One button press that gives you nigh-guaranteed kills that come along every so often, and can be used to wipe teams?

Pls no. no more Destiny, no more Destiny...

What nerf are you talking about Jo? Doom has even been buffed in the last patch

@Michael Smith: She's actually one of the characters from Hearthstone. She's the one who got nerfed execution style in this comic. http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/1670 And just now I got the joke in that comic's third panel. The executioner is not using an axe but a hammer. Nerf hammer.

You're not going to see a Dragonstrike PotG because it's not meant exclusively for killing people. I think of it more like Widowmaker's ult, where it's for utility. It's also very good in some situations, like when there's 3 tanks in a hallway you want to get past :)

Man, I sure wish blizzard didn't invite almost only web-personalities into their beta event.

Silly me, it's not like they just basically had this beta to get tons of free press or anything, not at all.

Michael, I was thinking the same thing, then I got the joke:D

Who is the hero in the second panel? Kinda looks like Troll Warlord, but wrong skin colour and looks feminine.
