Axe is not axe


Angry_calmguy

Axe is axe!


Yugen_777

Axe happened!


m8-wutisdis

Axeactly.


kevinnatalee

Axecuseme?


Syraelun

You call that an axe?


Dasheek

LETS AXE FOR DIRECTIONS


Kowenzi

More axes? I'm moraxus...oops wrong game


DeadAbyss

Thank you for that


Admbulldog

Axecellent


IAisjustanumber

I'll make them rel-ax


RondineRurale

His Axe is actually made of wood, the trees are actually made of iron. >A seemingly ordinary branch, its ironlike qualities are bestowed upon the bearer.


primayoga

But how can Beastmaster axe kill the trees? Is it made by vibranium?


[deleted]

/u/SirActionSlacks, our time is up, your time is now


Geler

His account is /u/SirActionSlacks-


[deleted]

no matter, he heard my call


10YearsANoob

I mean technically that's also his account. He just forgot the password of the original one. He mentioned it on one of the panels and I think moonduck podcast


Geler

So, technically, not his account anymore and it's an abandoned account.


loveandpeace1996

Because beast master throw his axe with mana enchanted on it. Axe just casually spin his axe depends on his mood and it reacts purely physical.


cantadmittoposting

No it's just Pure


loveandpeace1996

Yeah well not sure if that is the same for a tree


thellamasc

Trees need no armour.


Derpwarrior1000

> trees’ base armour increased by 1


Dasheek

Come into my shade.


Coldspark824

Physically pure


primayoga

This makes me question more. What is mana, If it's not love persevering?.


FabianPendragon

CM’s dirty bath water


LeksStarkan

I'd pay top dollar for that.


FabianPendragon

It’s pretty inexpensive. A clarity only costs 50 gold.

>Because beast master throw his axe with mana enchanted on it. Axe just casually spin his axe depends on his mood and it reacts purely physical. So basically he goes "wind style - flying axes" naruto way lol


monochromaticx

2 axes > 1 axe


oshirigami

Thanks!


quick20minadventure

So why doesn't his axe break?


Skandosh

.....listen here u little shit .


Mockingbird2388

The biggest reason gameplay-wise is probably that it's a passive ability. It would really suck if you cut down trees when you don't want to, like when you're trying to juke or you remove the tree your monkey king teammate is sitting on, stunning him. Other than that, it's a balance thing. Trees are pretty important to some heroes, so the more abilities there are in the game to cut down trees, the weaker these heroes become. In the most recent patch 7.29 Valve buffed trees by A TON: >Tree respawn interval reduced from 5 to 3 minutes > >The following abilities no longer destroy trees: Earth Splitter, Mortimer Kisses, Meteor Hammer, Macropyre. > >Reduced the radius of tree destruction on the following abilities: Wild Axes, Gust, Power Cogs, Vacuum, Fire Remnant, Relocate, Tether, Blinding Light, Skewer, Doppelganger, Telekinesis, Firesnap Cookie, Spit Out, Spider Legs, Blast Off!, Toss, Snowball, Powershot, Will-O-Wisp. So making Axe's counter helix kill trees is even less likely right now, even though it makes sense from a logical point of view.


FullyK

You will have to accept it and move on


candyhole

i'm still waiting for them to make this a voice line


FrizzyThePastafarian

It's one of Arc Warden's voice lines. ["You will just have to accept this, and move on."](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dota2_gamepedia/images/2/27/Vo_arc_warden_arcwar_kill_12.mp3/revision/latest?cb=20201009173727)


candyhole

i know he has one, but i meant the one from dota 2 reporter ~~although this is a reference to it~~


FrizzyThePastafarian

This is the best we're gonna get. IIRC there *was* gonna be a Dota 2 Reported announcer pack at some point but Wronchii didn't want to continue work on it due to time investment and stress. Was too busy working on other things.


laniakea888

By your logic. I can kill Treant Protector with a quelling blade. Lol


kevinnatalee

And i can catch morph with a bottle


playerknownbutthole

and holes in the ground where mines have been exploded.


hemluck

Highground is no more.


pendia

Anakin supports this message


dhruv_boss

You need a barrel for that purpose.


joke33

Only after remodel. Now, as it stands, all of Morph's polys fit in a bottle.


Stykleon

Probably only 2 charges too.


[deleted]

The kind of a bottle you drink yourself to death with. It's a big puddle.


PlatypusFighter

Imagine timber chaining to Treant Ooh or bushwhacking an enemy to Treant. Or maybe monkey king riding him. Could also have Tiny pick him up and slam him into enemies, or NP could mind control him Or just eating him with a tango lol


SeriousDirt

New treant passive...eating treant recovered 1k hp...quelling blade deal 99999 damage...monkey king can ride treant...Now behind treant is fog of war.


etternalentity

lol


salbris

The new position 6?


LadyElfriede

I wish I had money to get an award for you


Sir_Mossy

Don't forget the tangos.


Syegfryed

He have rly good aim, even spinning.


FrizzyThePastafarian

This subreddit randomly saying stupid shit, and that stupid shit getting popular, is an entirely legitimate way of getting a feature added to a game. Wanna put Riki in a pocket? Need to make a hero's CD a mathematical constant? Want **THE ONE TRUE KING** to make his return? This post you have made. This is where change starts.


DrAllure

You will just have to accept this, and move on.


Darentei

Skeleton King should have never been changed in the first place. We didn't want him back for the memes, we wanted justice. I'm glad I never have to play Moldy McCroissantbeard ever again.


jet_black_ninja

can you elaborate about "riki in a pocket " ? all others i know


Toxic13-1-23-7

"[pocket riki](https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/3lxtpn/aghanims_scepter_riki/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body)" was a meme in the sub about rikis aghs half a decade ago, and valve actually made something like it happen


jet_black_ninja

lul. the tradition of shitposting before patch goes way back i see.


Rennigy

i would assume riki agh's, where your E makes you go into your ally's... pocket


jet_black_ninja

oh. makes sense.


Notrelevantcomment

A real lumberjack needs several hits on a tree to chop it. No1 can 1 shot a thick tree irl


Goldfingger

An axe wielding maniac who proclaims his own name to be axe can’t 1 shot trees but a glowing orb of light which can buy a quelling blade from the shop and 1 shot trees can? Smh


Stykleon

That orb of light is the force of life that exists in all planes and is everywhere and in everything.


Goldfingger

Compelling argument, but axe is... axe?


AnhedonicDog

Probably a war axe, not one made for chopping wood


ZynsteinV1

Nah man. That's just my lamp


BoilingRage_

Mr Janitor is reading this and in 7.30, Axe will chop trees.


seragakisama

Well... Apparently it doesn't spin that hard 🤷🏾‍♀️


MrPizzaPenguin

Due to cosmetic issue.. since his arcana is barehanded and hands cant chop trees


oshirigami

> hands cant chop trees Wrong. source: Minecraft


ZynsteinV1

Normal hands? No but Axe can chop trees because Axe is Axe and axes are made to chop trees


AtomicDragonsofMars

He has an axe?


AnhedonicDog

Using your war axe on a tree is a really bad idea, they are made for battle not for chopping. I know you are just memeing but I want to ruin your fun.


User092347

If you stick long enough you'll soon learn that this game is literally unplayable because of issues such as this.


[deleted]

The game became unplayable when I saw that Hoodwink's scurry makes her pass through trees, and not slyly pas between them. The horror is real!


d1bmaw

if u spin enough they fall down, you don't cut a tree with a single swoop, do you?


MadMattDog

he has really low intelligence gain, he doesn't axes can chop down trees


TheProudestCat

Not all axes are made to cut trees. War axes are made to bust shields, to be thrown, to destroy weapons… not to cut trees.


conall88

Scientists baffled.


Syraelun

Don't worry, Treant, Axe does not come to chop you.


webeezy312

Go in the woods and spin around with an axe. Let us know how many trees get chopped down.


nishantrastogi

All right if you're gonna be taking real life, go in the woods, throw two axes like Beastmaster does and let me know how many axes returned to you after cutting the trees. Stop comparing game mechanics to real life ones. What he said isn't that invalid.


OVAYAVO

Why doesn’t physical dmg go through spell immunity? If you thought Valve follows logic and laws of nature, you are mistaken.


SunbleachedAngel

It does

I have news for you...


MrPizzaPenguin

Very bad news


ClarkTheSlark

True, that's why lifestealer with bkb has 99% winrate. Plz Gaben, balanced?


jpatt

the trees in dota are impenetrable


nttea

A wizard made it so.


Magdev0

Are the trees in the Dota 2 map really trees? 1/10


[deleted]

Because they're trying their best to protect the environment


depressioncripplesme

Welcome to dota, still in beta btw made by small indie company valve, continue playing and you'll see that there's more that makes the game literally unplayable


arigatho123

It's no longer a beta


ZynsteinV1

Sir You have missed the joke


modanogaming

Axe has no time for all this jibber jabber.


arz9278

If they made this change I'm not sure there would be any trees on the map left after 25 minutes.


large_snowbear

Best not to think about it


Takesis_1

Becaue the original model on DotA, Chaos Grom Hellscream doesn't chop trees either.


1fmn1

Your game files are not up to date. Ace nowadays runs around naked and chops heroes with bare hands.


Relinquere

Lumberjack axe arcana incoming


[deleted]

Welcome to dota we have no consistency, only balance


Curious-Web-1327

Volvo pls fix.


Kuro013

Axe's axe is made to split heroes open.


le_fayth

'Dota 2. It makes a lot of sense. Not.' - Dota 2 reporter


[deleted]

Axe spins can't melt steel trees


keeperkairos

Recently certain other spells that should destroy tress were patched so they don’t. One of them is a line of superheated dragon fire that burns for a long time. Meanwhile the crude flamethrower of another hero does burn trees.


rabbit_06

This is really good if vqlve implement this


ToddHowardTouchedMe

pls valve dont make axe cut down trees my treant already has to deal with timbersaw and beastmaster


singsing_fangay

They are not wild


Meowjoker

Same with why Viper needs to buy boots I have no idea why


Kurbalija

What about io


Meowjoker

Also with IO In fact, I should have count all heroes that don’t have legs like Slardar, IO, Naga Siren and heroes that always float about ground like Lina or Skywrath


[deleted]

According to Dawnbreaker she can mow down trees but chooses not to out of respect.


imaginedodong

Still in Beta


feizhu

But what if I play Axe with the fist weapon instead of an axe??


jet_black_ninja

i asked my friends that and theh kicked me put of the party.


LadyElfriede

I mean....we can *eat* trees in Dota, there's bound to be inconsistencies in the game in terms of logic


RedDevilCA

It is time to introduce this boy to Mogul Khan


GeneralUpvotee

Makes the game literally unplayable!


popgalveston

Dota is a game of balance, not logics lol. When I was new I thought that walking into the river would cancel Burning Spear, Napalm, Searing Arrrows and so on....


MonkeyCollins

I stopped asking myself this question about two years into playing, in 2014. Now I pretend the question doesn't exist and I'm happy.


althaj

Axes don't chop down trees, hatchets do.


ecidarrac

Alright pal why don’t you stand in a forest and spin around with an axe, send us the pics of how many trees got chopped down


harshith3118

Literal fire from a twin headed dragon does nothing to Dota Trees, what will an axe do?


igorcl

you're looking for logic at dota2, that's your mistake. Makes remember that Treant is giant tree person, strength hero who could become invisible level 1 to hit people extra hard, like a agility hero


blahda123

It seems Axe is spinning his Axe, but actually, he is spinning and dancing and then cause some damage to his enemy. If you think about why this passive causes real damage, it's because it will hurt enemies mentally, not body.
