The Weekly Ward: Meme Vision - July 24 2025

Welcome to 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. You should give people like this awards…hey wait a minute 😈

In Collapse’s own words: “Ame Juggernaut too strong.” Props to one legend keeping it real for another. Xtreme Gaming might’ve been taken out of EWC 25, but at least it was from the next champions. A well earned MVP award for Collapse, congrats and gl next. 🏆

2. Won’t Valve think of the children(penguins)?

Another day, another public spectacle performed by this masked maniac! Hopefully Valve will do something about it(doubtful).

3. Soon 🙏

Speaking of doing something, here we see another post by u/CPHhalfbreed. Hmm, it’s almost as if…wait it couldn’t be…but…it’s like people want cool events and skins…huh 🤔 Someone might want to try that out. Could be a lot of money in it.

4. The Crystal Maiden with Basher in my game agrees

You might be the much-less-known brothers of Henry Cavill, but are you Kaya and Sange, Sange, and Yasha and Kaya, or Ancients forbid…Sange and Yasha. Whew, now that would’ve been a bad item to love making before it got nerfed to the ground.

5. Not all Black Holes are cast equal

Black Hole is a skill that has impact on every level of play, at every minute of the game after an Enigma player gets it. Using it for anything other than getting 1 kill of someone who trashtalked you in all chat, however, isn’t the best way to play. Or so we’ve heard.

6. Trolley problem, more like Techies problem

Thought experiments in ethics is one of the last things one might expect to find on a Dota 2 profile page. Odds usually are you’ll see a tasteful display of Queen of Pain regalia or an assortment of expensive agility hero arcanas. And the biggest question remaining is, would anyone really want to save a Meepo? (Meepo mains excluded from the discussion)

7. Grand Magus menace

Here’s a primer, since people still seem to struggle with the concept. When playing against Rubick, you click the spell you want to cast, then immediately after another spell that isn’t your best one, so he doesn’t steal it. Hope that helps. 👍

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.
