I played lol for a while and always found the support items a weid annoyance slapped onto the game.
Never bought one out of the principle of it, silly unfun game mechanics anyway. Only played no rank pubs anyway.

And you shouldn't be alone, either. Have your carry pick them off one by one.

I still don't know why Sand King needs a blink dagger.
If you rip his ult out on someone after landing your stun, they're probably fleeing at top speed to get out of the sandstorm you should be creating right afterward.

wouldnt mind being one

Well, this is so wrong. Furion can actually do a lot for himself by buying wards.

yeah people far too often do not want to buy obs / detection in pubs so im forced to even if my hero isn't really suited for it.... but its still the best way to prevent other team from getting fed on my noob teammates...

Very funny and true comic !!1

I like to play supports.
In fact I only play supports, yet again, I only play stacks, fuck you pubbers.

Sand king should play a semisupport role, imo. buying the courier and a few wards here and there won't hurt, and you're good at getting assists because you're Sand king.
Also, who's the jungler?

To Supp is a ingrate job... Like being the Engineer of your team.

The problem with DOTA2 is that they don't have a Sona.

Being support is fun. Problem is that It never gets merit.

Windrunner is actually a support, though

[url=#user_comment_191121]@Hazama[/url]: Your trolling is way too boring.

Are you... speaking... words?

[url=#user_comment_190924]@Mewt[/url]: I can't believe one idiot fell for your troll, good job!

I have no idea what any of these people are talking about and I don't think they do either.

[url=#user_comment_191055]@Eculc[/url]: The TF2 arc kinda is atm, it's making little sense atm, he needs to stop the prelude and get into the story.

@yes!!! no, it's just an extra comic over the weekend.

First: try reading the info at the bottom of the page, jo said there would be a dota comic.

Second: TF2 arc is NOT shitty.

5th panel: Whats with all these messed up champions?

so u stopped that shitty tf2 arc, awesome! keep up the dota 2 comics! :D

I've seen support sk before :P it was pretty fail

Fuckin hell, why do we have 3 carries, a support who is semi-carrying? Aghhh.. I'll buy the courier but you guys need to get wards later. Any why are we trilaning, again?

[url=#user_comment_191019]@DeadHerald[/url]: Weird logic you got there, bro.

[url=#user_comment_190777]@Omniknight[/url]: Silly Omniknight, no one picks you. Except me, but I suck at DOTA and I actually play Medic in TF2.

@~Maid-Chan: You know for all intents and purposes, DOTA and LoL are the same game. You do know this, right? Subtle differences, but essentially the same game.

[url=#user_comment_190965]@Lasdfuhrz[/url]: SILENCE YOUR HERESY. *HISS*

Same shiet in LoL.

Or in general in moba games, noobs don't realize warding for map vision wins games.

@The Metalhead Next Door:

Oh....

...carry on, Jo.

Being support is suffering.

yes back to that aweful boring arc

[url=#user_comment_190924]@Mewt[/url] Yes it's a Dota 2 comic. it's a 5v5 game, most of the time there's still a support, a tank, and 2-3 damager. But no one want waste money that benifet everybody, they only want useing the money to get better items for theirselves. I just got promoted to captain obivious!!

"Perhaps I will do some bonus DOTA2 comics on the weekend, so be sure to check it tomorrow or sunday for some extra."
Arc is fine, people

[url=#user_comment_190920]@RoflCat[/url]: Yes you can. Really not getting the confusion about what happened to the arc. It was right there in the comments of the last comic.

[url=#user_comment_190938]@Bodmans[/url]: Indeed, what happened to the arc :(

What the goddamn hell is this about?

Wheres TF2 and other random game comics. Even SC2 is a million times better than this.

Is this another League of Legends comic because I honestly don't fucking get them.

I have to quote that board from TI2 for Furion on this matter:
Holla Holla Get Dolla

That 6 rapiers won't farm themselves.

And you can't spell Rapier with out Rape.

What are you talking about there are plenty of jungle heroes that buy wards (Chen standard is to start with sentries and observers), as well as Enigma, to keep his jungle safe.

[url=#user_comment_190898]@zutzlor[/url]: You realize the same exact thing happens in basically every game ever, right?

I don't have a clue about DOTA, but I am reminded that a good team healer (or in my case, decent abilities to self-heal since I'm a soloist player) tends to be important to keep the tanks and dps'ers rolling.

this is the reason why dota is shit and lol isn't

Wow, that... makes this game sound so -appealing- to play with others. (note: not really.)

I don't know what's going on!

Calm your shit everybody, he said in his last post that he was going to post a bonus DOTA2 comic this weekend.

bring the arc back. all mobas (or however they are called)suck and should be forgotten

Windrunner? More like windrammer amirite

wr long lane solo needs wards above the strong camp if radiant and gank spot if dire

sk probably will buy courier then save for blink dagger

void is carry

quop is semi-carry

the 5th guy is probably a jungler like enigma (who can also get courier)

WHERE IS THE REST OF THE ARC!?

this one doesn't make much sense. sk would probably buy chicken and wr buys a set of wards for her long lane. the other pair of wards would probably be from the other support if it's a tri lane or maybe even a jungling chen/enchantress

No absolute need for a jungler with this line-up, why not a tri-lane with venomancer, sk and void, qop mid and wr long lane solo

the most useful hero in that line up would be crystal maiden.

Mana aura for windrunner and qop is awesome and you have a slow + root for SK to follow up!

W/Q/E/E/E for the first 5 levels and procede to demolish your lane!

Wait does that mean the Tf2 Saga ended? I want to see them slay the dragon. More TF2

One day I will get dota, one day.

pshh.
most of the times i play support/ganker. we don't even need wards.
map awareness.

wards only for blind spots/ramps.

time to pick antimage.

Well I do this job with no nagging in mind.
Jo make a comic praising such figure as the Omniknight

Buy a ward SAVE A LIFE. All lanes must obey or get ganked;p

Most useful hero in that line up would be Leshrac, assuming Radiant Windrunner (pic4) top solo, Queen of Pain (Pic2) mid solo, Void (Pic1) bot solo, Sandking and Leshrac (Pic3&5) roam between bot and mid to keep up the pressure.

Just your average public game. Normally i am playing with a friend of mine who can carry really good. And to be honest you dont need wards in laning phase in a pub game. Unless you play high pool. I support most of the time cause i am good at that. If its a high pool or captions mode game i ward.

That lineup can't support a jungler, you're dealing with a Void+SK safelane, dual melee, so you need a ranged babysitter. It can't also be a roamer, the roamer in this case would be SK. SK will also take pulling farm if possible, as he is the farming support. CM, Veno, Rhasta, Lich or Disruptor 5th.

I'm a LoL player, and I'm 80% of the time a support player. I know how shitty it is to buy support items. And when the team fails 99%they blame you :-(

That's why I never got into MOBA games: The items. You have to know which items when to buy and which items are required for an useful combination item. I know it's an important part of the game, but I just can't handle it/ am too lazy to memorize all of the items.

[url=#user_comment_190751]@DeadHerald[/url]: just hate LOL not DOTA ^^

[url=#user_comment_190705]@Serathis[/url]: well then... if you dont like any moba games then dont POST ANYTHING ON COMICS THAT IS RELATED TO ANY MOBA GAMES...ok?

DOTA and LOL have made me a very hate filled person. =D

The best kind of player is the pro-wannabe. In the middle of the match says "Sorry, my team sucks" and disconnects.

Based on true story.

Hooray, I understood a DOTA joke all by myself this time!

People who settle into support role in MOBAs learn to live with this shit. Besides, it's not our fault if you fuck up and the team loses. You asked us to ward, not to fight.

I have no idea what any of this means. I'm not sure if I think that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Aah, yes! Every party needs support, but nobody wants the role... The eternal paradox! lolz.

So if Techies were introduced (fuck that stupid suicide shit, I'm talking mines) then who's in charge of keeping people un-exploded?

"Hey our team compo looks good. Maybe we can win this-"

The 5th player has picked Meepo!


"....Well, shit."

Second hero there is Queen of Pain. Also, that line-up pretty much calls for a tri-lane considering that it'd have a Sandking sitting a Void. So probably something along the lines of Crystal Maiden would be best.

Or let SK go with Windrunner to hard lane.

I'd just pick Venomancer in this case, buy courier and reserve my first 150) gold for wards and go with Windrunner. Pub players can't suicide lane effectively anyway and she'd just feed. This way, I can guarantee that the enemy's safe lane is going to be pushed into their base by 20 minutes.

I dont very familiar with dota heroes, so can someone tells me, who is this female hero on the second frame?

The 5th guy doesn't necessary need to be a jungler. Could be a roaming support?

Screw LoL, DOTA, HoN and all other MOBA games! All they do is waste manpower that could have been used on proper games. I'm looking at you S2 games. Savage 3. Make it happen!

Hard lane generally starts off with wards to block the enemy camps and often buys vision. All junglers (nigma, ench, chen, etc.) can open with a courier without a problem.

Dont ever go support in pubs.

the arc DIED on us

Switch the last one with omniknight facepalming

[url=#user_comment_190662]@Software2[/url]: This was the Sunday bonus comic, TF2 D&D arc will be back today.

[url=#user_comment_190638]@Gear[/url]: That's the golden rule inscribed with gods tears of MOBA games right there...Don't play with the pubs, play with your buds!

DotA2 is bad and you should feel bad.

I dunno, Void suggests an old fashion tri-lane. That means SK gets Courier and you're ward bitch.

Bring back the TF2 arc!

"I'm can't buy support items."? did you mean "I can't buy support items"?

I don't know where to place wards anyway, but I do play Chen, who can jungle right off the bat if you are careful/get a lucky creep spawn. So slap a Chen in that position and all will be fine.

[url=#user_comment_190633]@Garygolf[/url]: I've played LoL, haven't played DotA, been told that DotA tactics and metagame are way different. I think it's basically easier for LoL'ers to buy wards and things even when they're carrying.

Purple dude with pants on head is BR!
Dont change the writing!

As a newbie I play support most of the time. I'm fine with buying support items. So yeah, the place is reserved for me, thank you. ^_^

I also don't play pubs alone, hate the haters.

With a team like that, I'd just as soon cancel my reservation.

I appreciate the heart, though. <3

Well, SK should buy it, tbh.
The situation is a lot more fun when the entire team decides to go hard carry.

Jo I don't think you understand. You gotta meet the quota and to meet the quota I need my items and if I don't meet the quota then I'm bad.

Playing LoL, I buy wards regardless of what I'm playing and my team still whines. I don't understand why people don't realize you win and lose as a team. Everyone should contribute in some fashion.

Yep. The worst thing about MOBA games are the other people who play them.
