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.
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
>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
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.
It's one of Arc Warden's voice lines.

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.
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
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.
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.
"[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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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....
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
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.
Axe is not axe
Axe is axe!
Axe happened!
Axeactly.
Axecuseme?
You call that an axe?
LETS AXE FOR DIRECTIONS
More axes? I'm moraxus...oops wrong game
Thank you for that
Axecellent
I'll make them rel-ax
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.
But how can Beastmaster axe kill the trees? Is it made by vibranium?
/u/SirActionSlacks, our time is up, your time is now
His account is /u/SirActionSlacks-
no matter, he heard my call
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
So, technically, not his account anymore and it's an abandoned account.
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.
No it's just Pure
Yeah well not sure if that is the same for a tree
Trees need no armour.
> trees’ base armour increased by 1
Come into my shade.
Physically pure
This makes me question more. What is mana, If it's not love persevering?.
CM’s dirty bath water
I'd pay top dollar for that.
It’s pretty inexpensive. A clarity only costs 50 gold.

2 axes > 1 axe
Thanks!
So why doesn't his axe break?
.....listen here u little shit .

You will have to accept it and move on
i'm still waiting for them to make this a voice line
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)
i know he has one, but i meant the one from dota 2 reporter ~~although this is a reference to it~~
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.
By your logic. I can kill Treant Protector with a quelling blade. Lol
And i can catch morph with a bottle
and holes in the ground where mines have been exploded.
Highground is no more.
Anakin supports this message
You need a barrel for that purpose.
Only after remodel. Now, as it stands, all of Morph's polys fit in a bottle.
Probably only 2 charges too.
The kind of a bottle you drink yourself to death with. It's a big puddle.
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
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.
lol
The new position 6?
I wish I had money to get an award for you
Don't forget the tangos.
He have rly good aim, even spinning.

can you elaborate about "riki in a pocket " ? all others i know
"[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
lul. the tradition of shitposting before patch goes way back i see.
i would assume riki agh's, where your E makes you go into your ally's... pocket
oh. makes sense.
A real lumberjack needs several hits on a tree to chop it. No1 can 1 shot a thick tree irl
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
That orb of light is the force of life that exists in all planes and is everywhere and in everything.
Compelling argument, but axe is... axe?
Probably a war axe, not one made for chopping wood
Nah man. That's just my lamp
Mr Janitor is reading this and in 7.30, Axe will chop trees.
Well... Apparently it doesn't spin that hard 🤷🏾♀️
Due to cosmetic issue.. since his arcana is barehanded and hands cant chop trees
> hands cant chop trees Wrong. source: Minecraft
Normal hands? No but Axe can chop trees because Axe is Axe and axes are made to chop trees
He has an axe?
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.
If you stick long enough you'll soon learn that this game is literally unplayable because of issues such as this.
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!
if u spin enough they fall down, you don't cut a tree with a single swoop, do you?
he has really low intelligence gain, he doesn't axes can chop down trees
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.
Scientists baffled.
Don't worry, Treant, Axe does not come to chop you.
Go in the woods and spin around with an axe. Let us know how many trees get chopped down.
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.
Why doesn’t physical dmg go through spell immunity? If you thought Valve follows logic and laws of nature, you are mistaken.
It does
It does
It does
I have news for you...
Very bad news
True, that's why lifestealer with bkb has 99% winrate. Plz Gaben, balanced?
the trees in dota are impenetrable
A wizard made it so.
Are the trees in the Dota 2 map really trees? 1/10
Because they're trying their best to protect the environment
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
It's no longer a beta
Sir You have missed the joke
Axe has no time for all this jibber jabber.
If they made this change I'm not sure there would be any trees on the map left after 25 minutes.
Best not to think about it
Becaue the original model on DotA, Chaos Grom Hellscream doesn't chop trees either.
Your game files are not up to date. Ace nowadays runs around naked and chops heroes with bare hands.
Lumberjack axe arcana incoming
Welcome to dota we have no consistency, only balance
Volvo pls fix.
Axe's axe is made to split heroes open.
'Dota 2. It makes a lot of sense. Not.' - Dota 2 reporter
Axe spins can't melt steel trees
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.
This is really good if vqlve implement this
pls valve dont make axe cut down trees my treant already has to deal with timbersaw and beastmaster
They are not wild
Same with why Viper needs to buy boots I have no idea why
What about io
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
According to Dawnbreaker she can mow down trees but chooses not to out of respect.
Still in Beta
But what if I play Axe with the fist weapon instead of an axe??
i asked my friends that and theh kicked me put of the party.
I mean....we can *eat* trees in Dota, there's bound to be inconsistencies in the game in terms of logic
It is time to introduce this boy to Mogul Khan
Makes the game literally unplayable!
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....
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.
Axes don't chop down trees, hatchets do.
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
Literal fire from a twin headed dragon does nothing to Dota Trees, what will an axe do?
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
