[url=#user_comment_225547]@hah[/url]: Why would you ever think that he wants more TF2 comics? Only because he's tired of the Dota 2 ones? And if a webcomic stops to be interesting for someone, he will stop to read it. It's not that strange, I think.

[url=#user_comment_225369]@Din182[/url] keep enemy under his tower is good idea because tower will kill most of minions. More minions killed by tower means less minions killed by enemy champion. On the downside you are too far away from your tower and vulnerable to gank.

[url=#user_comment_225108]@Heh[/url]: I have been killed while next to a tower in LoL many times. The tower are completely useless at protecting you unless the enemy is at low health, and you aren't, or you are all at low levels. And depending on the champ, it is easy to destroy a tower before lvl 6.

Goodbye nerfnow. Goodbye jo. I've loved this comic for ages, but the recent obsession with dota2 has me put off. I've stayed a while. hoping it would ease up a bit, but it seems that this is the new direction you want for the comic. I wish you well in your comics continued success.

[url=#user_comment_225112]@Smiter[/url]: SMNC takes so much skill that it's hard for new players, even those experienced in FPS or MOBA genres to play, because it uses a full 3D space for your movement, attacks and skills. Site however just uses a 3d aesthetic, everything travels along essentially a 2D plane

[url=#user_comment_225245]@def[/url]: *You're safe no matter what* Humm, nope. Later on, around level 7/8 too, it takes the tower at least 7/8 shots to kill a champion, it' not unusual then to have the jungler gank and tower dive, a good team will pas the aggro and deal with it despite the tower.
def
over 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_225218]@dealwithit[/url]: Actually I think it makes more sense. In LoL just hide behind a tower and you're safe no matter what, just like you NEED to have the creeps be after you in order to even do damage. Dota 2 isn't as forgiving as LoL is, you can't go around hugging towers.

Blizz Allstar towers will have ammunition that eventually runs out. Hehe, can't wait for people who think hugging them = safety forever to experience that!
Me
over 11 years ago
As a LoL veteran playing my first game of DOTA 2 pretty much went the same way. A tower in LoL kills you in 3 hits, in DOTA 2 it barely tickles you. It went from "tower hugging" to "run for your life (and gold)"
well
over 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_225092]@Drowssap[/url]: Yeah, but her attack range is 625, not 400. And even then, it's 40 agility, meaning 40 damage (+his other skill turning that agility into more damage) and 40 attack speed. And well, she has no attack skill. But she can have a FS, BD or SB, and even then you'll be silenced.
ss
over 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_225052]@Syr[/url]: I didn't know about the Razor thing, knew about Bloodseeker. But the silence isn't the ONLY bad thing about her, it's the fact that she silences you and then proceeds to chop more than half of your movement speed with massive damage, so you'll die before the silence ends and you can't LM her.
well
over 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_225049]@240[/url]: It's pretty clear you have no idea how Dota 2 works. This isn't Dota 1. This isn't the mod for WC3. Just hover your mouse over the agility stat, it says "Each point increases attack speed by 1", if I get 80 agility, that's not 80% faster attack speed

Only noobs needs a tower to protect them against heroes. That's why towers in LoL are so strong, because the game is full of casual noobs that must have a safe spot to not be killed.

Outsmarting the enemy is 99% of what you need to win a dota match. The last 1% comes from skill.

[url=#user_comment_225029]@@Wat[/url]: The word "free" refers to the fact that she gets 80 passive agility without having to spend mana or wait for a cooldown, dumbass. Hopefully Drow will no longer be OP with her nerf in 6.77. My guess is she'll still be pretty broken but not the game ruiner she is currently.
Drowssap
over 11 years ago
Um, you guys do realize that Drow's ult bonus is halved whenever there's an enemy hero within 400 radius of her, right?

And she still has no escape skill + very squishy, so only the stupid global aura made her a tad broken.

being the serial killer that i am, I took this poor tower hugging luna's 3 waves of creeps to neuts and she got no choice but to 1: tank the creeps 2: hide and let her tower take damage or 3: die and let us push.

she gladly did 3.

[url=#user_comment_225044]@ss[/url] It's 6 seconds. 4 Seconds is lvl 2 silence. And she had that forever, and was considered a subpar/weak hero. And she was. Did you know that Razor can have 300 damage at lvl 7? Or that bloodseeker can silence you (if you're a caster) for 9 seconds with 6s cd?

over 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_225033]@69[/url]: Matter of fact, until something like version 6.6x, ASPD items and buffs were given in precentages, f.e. Gloves of Haste's description said they give "15% attack speed".

over 11 years ago
"It's clear that you don't even know how Agility works. Each point is a single point of attack speed, not 1%+"
Aaand, it's clear you have no idea how WC3 works. Each point of attack speed increases actual speed by 1% of the base value (which is 1.7 for all heroes, save for a few exceptions).
ss
over 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_225029]@@Wat[/url]: Actually, the thing that made her(and still does make her) so strong was the fact that she can Silence for 4 fucking seconds. 4 seconds of which she can attack with huge damage, massive attack speed, and 60% slow. 60 fucking percent. That means you'll die before you can even attack her.

@Wat

"free"? You have to pick her.
FV gets a 'free' 5 second AoE stun though immunity, a 'free' 25% chance bash, 'free' 25% extra average health, and a 'free' blink.

Shut up until you learn how DotA gets balanced. The only thing that made Drow much stronger than other carries was the global aura.

[url=#user_comment_225029]@Wat[/url]: "%80 more attack speed" It's clear that you don't even know how Agility works. Each point is a single point of attack speed, not 1%+. I'm not defending her, just clarifying, and other than that you're completely right.
Wat
over 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_225005]@Unbroken[/url]: The problem is the 80 free agility she's getting. That's 80% more attack speed, 11 Armor, 80 Damage. Then Trueshot Aura takes 26% of that free agility and makes it more damage. That's (roughly) another 20 damage. She gets a free 100 damage from her skills alone before any items.
