ITCS: weaklings who are DENIED from playing DotA 2 complain they don't get the joke.

Because it's customary for the attendants of the party to leave their mounts outside,the ogre doesn't get to take part in it.
Hence,he was DENIED being able to go to the party.

If half of your comics have a joke that nearly noone understands,you've got a serious flaw.
This needs to stop,Jo.

I managed to figure it out,let me explain:
All of the creatures outside are mounts for DOTA 2 characters.
The ogre guy has a little goblin guy that rides him around.

I've had to sit down and google to get the joke for every last Dota comic. I mean, I read a lot of video game comics, and they don't always joke about games I play, but they generally tend to be funny on their own. Not these.

Hey. If that was the case I want 4 times the bounty on Meepo's head, even if he isn't a Dota2 yet I am hopeful they will implement his insanity in the game in the future.

So let me put it so you LoL fans can understand it.
Imagine that the rhino is that boar thing Sejuani rides and the ogre is Nunu's yeti, and that is the joke although the yeti is the one hitting and doing all the work, he is not the hero, he is just a mount and gets denied from the afterparty

Okay I think I finally got, so the Alchemist rides an Ogre for his mount but really his Ogre is the only good part of the Alchemist?

@Mein Herr: Jo is saying that if the Ogre counts as a hero then he should get twice the gold because he killed two heroes (Alchemist and the Ogre)

By the way, where's Keeper of the Light's Horse?

Alchemist is one of the strongest situational carries though! (And by situational i mean VERY) he needs to hit level 16 before he hits carry effectiveness, and he is one of the faster farmers in the game. All he needs is a 40 minute game with about 20 minutes of complete freefarm. Nothing too big

[url=#user_comment_153331]@Pootis[/url] Well why then does Jo want "double bounty" if the Ogre counts as a hero? Also what makes this comic funny then?

@Mein Herr: The Alchemist (the hero) rides the Ogre (yellow guy)

Wait so is the Ogre a hero but in the comic he is so bad that he is living outside with the mounts and dats da jokie?

Or is the Ogre a mount but better than an alchemist? I am so confused...

@Savasaan Todaro: So what is this game anyway? just asking!

@The Everything,man:

An ogre in DotA is a creature of profound stupidity.

As Valve puts it "The ordinary ogre is the creature for whom the phrase 'As dumb as a bag of rock hammers' was coined. In his natural state, an ogre is supremely incapable of doing or deciding anything."

Comic is based around that the Alchemist ogre is considered a mount.

Alchemist is an awful piece of shit, Henkr. There is literally nothing in his kit that makes him good. He farms well because his gold skill, but put money to shit use, because he doesn't scale well. His base and growth stats are awful, and he's only as strong as a normal hero when his ult's up.

[url=#user_comment_153001]@henkr[/url] Hes probably referring to the fact that Alch has the lowest win rate in the game of 40%.

[url=#user_comment_152984]@Spaqin[/url]: That is not true! Alchemist is an awesome hero if you play with another strong disable so it's easy to get those 4 sec Unstable Concoctions. Get a fast Vanguard and Then Mjollnir. Ez farm, ez push.

Alchemist is not a hero. When someone chooses him, it's basically 4v5.
