The Weekly Ward: Meme Vision - September 3 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. Talking about TI 14 in a nutshell

The golden days do seem to be behind us, but it’s not all bad, all the time. At least not as bad as everyone seems to think. So, maybe keep enjoying the game if you do 👍

2. Bright side is you can’t miss hooks this way 🙃

In the right hands, Pudge is a good hero in every stage of the game, even with minimal items. It’s no wonder then that players proficient with him would be frustrated at the ban each game. (This writer is guilty of having Pudge as a priority ban. Sorry, not sorry.)

3. Crash out or miscommunication?

You have to use voice for these types of messages. Text simply cannot convey meaning so well, and don’t forget, you are playing a game where 99% of things said in chat are some form of insult.

4. Treant Protector’s hidden form: Building Destructor

As the hero likes to say: “Trees are not so good with motion, you know.” But they seem to be super good at laying waste to your buildings.

5. Sorry N0tail fans

Close, but no cigar. Now, let’s see how the team that got the spot will perform 🤔

6. Hottest comeback of 2025

Spirit’s back. ALL RIGHT! 🕺

7. Defense of the Ancients in cinemas near you

Amidst all the funny profile backgrounds, such as Meepos reenacting the Trolley problem, and other, much more freaky in nature ones, this user has taken the time to create something extremely cool. Props, good sir/madam 👏

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.
