Welcome to the The Weekly Ward: Meme Vision, your weekly reconnaissance into the best Dota 2 community humor. Just like a well-placed ward reveals enemy movements, we're here to provide vision into the memes that defined the week. Every seven days, we'll highlight seven standout pieces of community gold that captured the Dota zeitgeist, made us laugh, or perfectly summed up the eternal struggle of Ancient bracket life.

1. BKB nerfs weren’t enough, you need to suffer more

You’ve had your fun not being the subject of mages’ whims, no it’s time to go back to the corner.

2. Real(send help, please)

If “yeah, I’ve got 10,000 hours in Dota, how could you tell?” was a picture 🖼️

3. Mid pro players with limited hero pools keep winning

Not saying that Valve staff has favorite heroes….but if they did, there’d be signs.

4. “Pick me LD, this time it’ll work. Swear!”

You gotta wonder when’s the cutoff for playing “exotic” heroes on pos4? It’s always a thin line between a genius pick and a stupid one.

5. Someone’s lane isn’t flourishing and it shows 😂

Win your lane = flamed. Lose your lane = flamed. Hmm, sound like there’s an option you could use to stop these kinds of people 🤔

6. Who could’ve predicted this?

Like half the community perhaps. A lot of people got disillusioned after the fumble with the Compendiums and the supposedly negative feedback(players rightfully saying the updates were shit), and now we’re here. Thanks for the “cool” updates, Valve!

7. Pos3 player: Everywhere I go, I see his face 😞

Yep, you got it right. It’s bitching about Eternal Shroud again, which just attests to how its removal was one of the choices of all time…

That's your meme vision for this week. The community never stops creating, and we'll never stop watching. See you next week for another round of The Weekly Ward, where we'll keep our eyes on the pulse of Dota's finest shitposters and meme artisans.
