The Weekly Ward: Meme Vision - July 10 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. Support life 10+ years ago

With the overabundance of gold nowadays, some might’ve forgotten what the struggle of supports who could only afford brown boots until minute 15. But we remember and salute the brave position 4 and 5’s in their, a lot of times, underappreciated efforts.

2. Perhaps the carry was the friends we made along the way?

Anyone can be a carry as long as they believe in the heart of the cards! You are now hearing: It’s time to d-d-d-d-d-duel. (Sorry about that)

3. Haunting…

Now, we come to the existential question: do you pick Skywrath because of the great magical burst potential, or to make everyone in the game hate you with the click of a button? 🤔

4. Keep on the grindset and you’ll make it

Everyone gets good after 9000 games, you just gotta power through. Stay strong, ladies and gentlemen.

5. Average Dota 2 player: “Guess it’s alright”

Anyone over 5k hours probably wouldn’t write a different review to be honest.

6. Shikuchi → circle back → Time lapse (repeat)

Damn, pesky, reality-weaving bugs. Can’t get rid of the things. (Congrats to Ana_R_Chy for making it to the list twice)

7. You get nothing! Good day, sir.

Free game. Recently out of beta. Small indie, please understand. You take your pick, but Vavle will continue to do what they want.

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.
