[url=#user_comment_205892]@Lobster[/url]: The 2-headed Ogre to the right is a mage. His heads have... less than brilliant conversations, and together got as much intelligence as an average int hero. Go figure.

Playing Invoker is like playing Magicka, except that you cant QRASER everything to death in seconds.

I'm not sure, but as far as I know Invoker exists longer than Magicka. So is playing Magicka like playing Invoker.

Invoker is just so versatile, it's fantastic.
Ogre Magi...
Hope you like fire.

The joke is that ogre magi was chosen by the goddess of luck to harbor the power of magic.
Dota is superior

Unsettling how much he still looks like Kael'Thas, figured Valve would alter the silhouettes a bit more from their warcraft components.

Fact
over 11 years ago
Ogre Magi Int is 17 + 2.4 per level.

Meaning each head has like 8.5 + 1.2 Intelligence, that's nearly the same as the lowest in game. (Troll warlord and Phantom Assassin, both have 13 + 1 Intelligence)

Jakiro is different though since only one head attack at a time.

I've never played (or seen play of) DoTA, but I got the joke.

That guy over there is a two-headed ogre, and does not look very bright, what with the drool and everything. The runic markings underline the fact that he's a magic user, as does the structure of the joke preceding his introduction.

Something that bothered me is that in Warcraft2, you can't make groups of units cast spells, you need to do one by one. Then when fighting the computer, all his double-headed ogre mages would cast all their blood lust spells in seconds.

after seeing this comic i decided to give Invoker a chance. it really did feel like Magicka, Jo has a point. Great hero though, in the right hands.
I'll stick to something simpler though, casters are not my style.

Do you know why there's DotA comics and not LoL comics? Guess which of the two he's currently playing.

Unless you have the ability to accidentally blow yourself up in new and humourous ways, then Magicka still wins out.

Oh I've been playing Invoker quite a bit meself. Was just wondering why Jo didn't draw them at all considering that it's clearly far into the laning phase.

Well lore-wise, Invoker is the most intelligent mage. But gameplay-wise, that belongs to Pugna. (Or OD)

Comparing to Invoker, the Ogre Magi are(is?) just playing with explosives. Big and unstable ones.
So many people not getting this
over 11 years ago
Invoker is supposed to be the most intelligent magic user in DOTA2. The most powerful and learned magician.

Ogre Magi have two heads making him marginally more intelligent than a rock (unlike other ogres) and a blind luck propensity for being able to cast magic.

Get it now?

@Sherlock Pie: Or even limited to DOTA and/or the warcraft universe? When was the last time you saw smart ogres?
Even without any knowledge about any of those games the punchline is obvious here, as she is proven wrong mid-sentence. SO the obviously stupid fellow that just appeared uses magic.

@von Boomslang: Except that the last TF2 comic also was kinda obscure for people who didn't play it

Also, how is the fact that Ogre Magi is stupid obscure?
(for those who played Dota 2)
von Boomslang
over 11 years ago
@Sherlock Pie: Or maybe in Dota 2 comics, the punchline requires some moderately obscure ingame fact? Like the fact that one guy is an ogre magi?

As to Jo's comment about Magicka... I'm fairly sure atually that Invoker is what inspired the makers of Magicka. Where are the orbs by the way?
@Snoipah

But Dota2 based on Dota and Dota is based on warcraft.So where is complete difference?

But this aint warcraft, lockez! THIS IS DOTA2! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

According to Warcraft 2's instruction manual, orc warlocks gave ogres two heads so that, combined, they would be smart enough to use magic.

Instead they argue with themselves.

Since, well, always, do you guys even skill? only fucking nooblords and lolkiddies think ogre "skill" magi is about luck.
