Twitch keeps stopping and loading the stream every few seconds on my computer for some unknown reason which makes watching it a very unpleasant experience.
I played a lot of Mei and got pretty good at it. The problem is now my hidden elo / rank / mmr / etc is adapted to how well I play with the Ice Devil.
When I play a non-OP class now I get rekt, which force me to only play Mei.
A cautionary tale for those who sign a pact with the Ice Devil… she won't easily let you get rid of her.

After I found I could turn scope into a toggle (as opposed of holding the mouse) with Widowmaker I found far easier to play.
If I can be effective with her with my shoddy aiming skills, who knows what a good person can do.
Here hoping her nerfs come quickly, and take McCree with her.

Took a while but winter cold finally settled in, so I spend the whole day longing to go under the blankets.
I finally decide to bite the bullet and took out all my winter gear, put 3 layers of everything and did this comic.
Fuck winter.

I can't not admire Icefrog dedication to Dota, the game is very complex and yet its very balanced and diverse.
Now, before you say this hero is never picked or viable, let me give you some perspective.
Once upon a time, BKB (the item which gives magic immunity) had 10 seconds duration and 80 seconds cooldown, with no diminishing returns like the modern version.
This means any magic based support would turn useless as soon as the enemy get BKBs. This also shows why a hero like Enigma used to be so popular since he had an AoE disable which goes thru BKB. You had a kingdom of haves and have-nots and that's why people picked agility carries so much in the past, because they were not countered by BKBs so heavily.
Now look the modern days… BKBs duration goes down with every use so your carries aren't invencible superheroes forever, there are also dozens of abilities now which simply go thru BKBs meaning you can't cover all your bases with a single item.
My point is, on the days of Dota 1, when people said «this hero is not viable» it mean it. If you picked Crystal Maiden for example you either finished the game in 20 minutes or you had one less hero in the game. All her abilities were countered by an item and they had 10 seconds to kill her and move to the next target.
Of course, some heroes are favored and I'd risk to say some heroes are simply better given their versatility and overall power at all stages of the game, however, I believe most heroes now are viable and scale well into late game, which is a feat given the 100+ number of heroes Dota have.
Good job Mr. Lizard.

I saw on youtube this guy give a long rant about how the loot system of Overwatch was terrible…
…wait, I mean…
TERRIBLE!!!
And he angrily rants over it for several minutes like the loot boxes killed his family and burned his house.
I mean, sure.. it could be better I guess. something closer to how Hearthstone does it I guess, where you can just dust unwanted and use the dust to craft what you want but this is not the point.
The point is the loot system is an extra. The cherry on the top of a very big cake. I won't say the game could get away with no cosmetics at this day and age but the game is fairly generous and you will end up getting the skin you want sooner or later.
However, if you are a spoiled kid who needs the fancy Nevermore skin for Reaper NOW, than, yes… I guess the system sucks and the game sucks because of that too.

Every time I watch a Starcraft 2 game featuring some Zerg, it looks like they are the underdog, fighting from behind or doing all-in. Maybe I just watch bad zerg players but they look underpowered as fuck.
On a different subject, I can't imagine Valve people spend the last 3 years polishing Dota map and TF2 hats so I like to dream they are doing something nice there.
Kojima new game looks weird as fuck. Maybe it's awesome instead of just cryptic nonsense. However, if the game sucks I may be one of the few who won't be disappointed since I don't usually enjoy Kojima games. Before the fans come to eat me, I'm not saying they are bad, but they are definitely not my cup.
Tobjorn has the highest winrate on consoles on Overwatch, which makes me happy to be part of the master race, because fuck Tobjorn. I should make a long post about how much I dislike him, but not today…
Enjoy the comic and until next time.

When I was inking this page Sai crashed and I lost all my work, even the rough sketches. Had to start from scratch and this after I had just finished this week Patreon pic.
Lets just say I'm too tired to rant right now.
Enjoy the comic!

Making this comic was as troublesome as doing 3 regular strips.
Overwatch is just not an easy game to draw.
Now McEasy and Widowmaker got nerfed, the game is far less cheesy, however, I still hope for a Toblerone nerf.
I don't care if people say he is easily counterable / weak / low winrate. Dealing with Tobs is like cleaning dog shit, it may be easy, but is still a chore which stinks.

Here is some interesting news about a korean overwatch player being accused of hacking.
I ponder if the people who rallied to accuse her of hacking would be so adamant to a point of bet their career if she was not a girl.
The biggest question is.. WHY SHE IS NOT PLAYING D-VA??

I don't think I'd be making many more Might No 9 strips in the future.
To start, I don't want to join the hate train for 2 reasons.
First, since I did a (very smple) game once, I know it's no easy task. The closest comparision I can give is trying to control a ship. The bigger the ship, harder is to change direction and less hands in deck, more complicated is to do anything, and while Inafune game is not huge, I'm sure it was still big enough to be hard to control.
The 2nd reason is, the game is not awful. Yes, it's not great but his biggest sin is being average. It has some low points (the art) and some terrible points (the voice acting and writing) but it has some good points like the boss fights. Still, the whole package is average and if there was no brand name behind it people would ignore.
I can say Inafune (kinda) delivered what he promissed, Sure, people are free to feel they wasted their money but such are the pits of Kickstarters. He didn't ran away with people's money while delivering a incomplete game which crashed my HDD.
Personally, the game failed to me when they went 3d. I paid for nostalgia and this is lost with 3d graphics, but it's my particular case and as far as money wasting go, I've made worse buys.
