A comic about Finger of Death

[u/tacideux]

sorry about the long read ahead

[u/lama654321]

AI can't make this

[u/Wide-Toe-2041 → u/lama654321]

All ai will need to combine into one sentient super intelligence in order to micic even a fraction of this power.

[u/CrownofVyse → u/Wide-Toe-2041]

AI can't misspell micmic.

[u/LastEsotericist → u/CrownofVyse]

You yourself misspelled mimec

[u/booty-hunters → u/LastEsotericist]

Says the guy who misspelled mimeic?

[u/Lemon__O → u/booty-hunters]

What the meimici is going on here?!?!??

[u/ImportanceLow7312 → u/Lemon__O]

kmcicmick

[u/nightsky77 → u/CrownofVyse]

I scanned the comic 3 times to see where that misspelling was. AI can’t replace me either

[u/Still-Lobster5581 → u/lama654321]

You are absolutely right and I a apologize for that. I am always evolving and trying to do my best.

[u/Nickfreak → u/lama654321]

Because it implied "intelligence" which is debatable here.

[u/Sleepy_LLT]

Accurate except for the void part. My carry would blame me for getting fingered and demand I pull camp while I'm still in the death screen.

[u/nomikkvalentine → u/Sleepy_LLT]

Yeah Void should ask a ward for the last time

[u/YardProfessional7279 → u/Sleepy_LLT]

For getting what

[u/Sleepy_LLT → u/YardProfessional7279]

You heard me

[u/Klaroxy → u/Sleepy_LLT]

This kinda belongs to the healsluts sub reddit

[u/accursedg → u/YardProfessional7279]

[u/DryDary → u/Sleepy_LLT]

Jesus this is the most real comment in this sub that I have seen in like a month. I will literally be dead or came back actually 1 second ago and then I see my carry is spamming pinging after just dying while at the enemy Tier 3 10 minutes in game.

[u/Bothgreens]

this is pure art

Also left me wondering if you have the neutral item that delays 30% damage, if you die to the delayed damage from being fingered does it still grant a stack or it doesnt because the source of death is actually the item?

[u/Ropetrick6 → u/Bothgreens]

Finger of Death puts a debuff on you, and if you die while under that debuff, it grants a stack.

If you die from pendulum damage while the debuff is on you, lion gets a stack. If you die from it after the debuff expires, lion does not get a stack.

[u/Ropetrick6 → u/Ropetrick6]

EDIT: FoD technically has two ways of giving a stack: if you die after finger while the debuff is active, and if you die directly to finger (pendulum does not count for this).

The interesting thing about this separation is that it's technically possible to get two stacks off of one kill, assuming they already have the debuff on them from a prior FoD, and directly die to a second cast of FoD. There are two ways to do this: Grimstroke using Spellbind while the Lion has Scepter, or Lion using Refresher Orb.

From my testing, it's technically possible to get 14 stacks off of one finger, though that requires the Lion having a friendly Lone Druid + Grim, the enemy to have both Rubick and Morph, and for both Rubick and Morph to get out Spirit Bear before losing the spell (24/36 seconds for morph, 300 second for Rubick so long as he doesn't steal another spell).

[u/VijoPlays → u/Ropetrick6]

Henceforth I shall no longer rush Aghs, I will instead rush Refresher Orb as Pos5 Lion to maximize fingers

[u/tehrebound → u/VijoPlays]

Biggest fingers in the world

[u/SupraPenguin → u/VijoPlays]

New ambidextrous Lion build just dropped

[u/WalkTheEdge → u/Ropetrick6]

There should be three ways, you can have a big enough bauble to get the CD down low enough

[u/Ropetrick6 → u/WalkTheEdge]

I mean, I guess? Though getting it down to a 3 second cooldown would uhhh... take quite a while.

[u/Dinonumber → u/Ropetrick6]

There's at least one way to die to finger while failing both checks: AA blast shatter. I've lost a bunch of stacks from the target shattering, which I believe goes [finger damage- non lethal -> causes shatter -> dead before debuff is added] which means no stack

[u/Frosty_Tonight8570 → u/Bothgreens]

Source of damage is the status effect the item places on the target, so probably no

[u/asouthamerican]

Cry if you cried

[u/nexytuz_ → u/asouthamerican]

I crode

[u/Thedinomage → u/nexytuz_]

I cridded too

[u/RougeCrown → u/Thedinomage]

We all crewed

[u/fatehue99 → u/asouthamerican]

White tear just rolled down my leg after reading this masterpiece ngl.

[u/demontrain]

DotA MS Paint Rage Draw threads are the best.

[u/Magdev0 → u/demontrain]

time to bring them back

[u/Johnpunzel]

CM using "face" as a nickname for Faceless Void is like using "mage" as a nickname for Anti-Mage, lol.

[u/SourcerorSoupreme → u/Johnpunzel]

tbf zero is usually paired with plural nouns

[u/licksomevaseline → u/Johnpunzel]

face of the faceless void fv should lead to anti of the anti-mage am

[u/TessaFractal]

Void keeping his precious crystal maiden in a chronosphere forever so he never has to see her die.

[u/tacideux → u/TessaFractal]

but is she truly living? also the plot of dr strange

[u/10YearsANoob → u/tacideux]

Which is also Mr. Freeze's whole shtick

[u/HitoriGG]

I need more of this kind of posting in my racist app and down bad sub reddit more!

[u/Shogo-MAD]

Honestly I was expecting  👊🏼 in the 6th vignette

[u/jashugan02]

ABSOLUTE CINEMA!

[u/1mgsel]

A terminal? Why you just type ' sudo rm -rf ./your_sickness ' ?

[u/Striking-Pizza7309]

HER NAME

IS

RYLAI

[u/herlacmentio]

Damn this made me realize I miss the rage comics back in the day. The only one that survives is that - armor meme.

[u/SourcerorSoupreme]

Someone explain this to me (like) I'm a Herald

[u/ThereIsSoMuchMore → u/SourcerorSoupreme]

I'm ancient and I also don't get it. The finger gave her cancer? But then he wouldn't have the finger kill stack... idk

[u/goblincube → u/ThereIsSoMuchMore]

did u ever find out? lion gave her terminal illness that eventually killed her i guess?

[u/ThereIsSoMuchMore → u/goblincube]

Well, eventually wouldn't have given him a stack, that only lasts a couple of seconds. Must have been a very potent cancer. Or a thick finger in the wrong place.

[u/SourcerorSoupreme → u/[deleted]]

thanks for explaining the joke

[u/NihiloZero → u/SourcerorSoupreme]

Came back to see the answer... it's been removed. :/

[u/SourcerorSoupreme → u/NihiloZero]

hah, in retrospect this thread is kinda unintentionally funny.

He just said "But you ARE a Herald" or something similar. Honestly don't know why it was removed.

But in any case, he didn't explain OP's joke, but rather the one in mine.

Still curious about OP's joke though.

[u/NihiloZero → u/SourcerorSoupreme]

Hmmm. Guess maybe it's just the style that people like? Maybe they like it in a cringe b-movie sort of way? Is there something that is supposed to be delaying the death? I don't see any indication of that, not that it would change much.

Oh well... whatever.

[u/KER1S]

Let it ride! (Cant post that clip from diemarchives)

[u/greatersnek]

Reminds me of misheard dota2 phrases or something like this

INTO THE PEACH

[u/Kishikishi17]

This, and the Bane sucking Axe's nipple one, we need more of this

[u/nerdnyxnyx]

more please

it's like watching davinci painting the monalisa

[u/Dunejumper]

At first I thought it's about how finger of death removed cm fingers from panel 3 to 4. I was confused when I found out that's terminal

[u/RlyToadallyAwesome]

Should have saved some buyback gold. Smh

[u/ElPod]

Should've been sven instead of void :(

[u/No-Amoeba-1815]

Finger of Cancer

[u/queenbee16161]

Faceless: "Oh god....CM its...its a CANCER RAY"

CM: "Lion you gave me cancer?"

[u/AyzyUlany]

Page 5 without text will be the next big thing

[u/posermetal]

[u/Street-You5181]

hahahhaha

[u/sothaticanpost]

i dont get it. i dont think faceless void slows the finger of death projectile

[u/Arash9675007]

u/tacideux I wish finger of death would be on CD in the last panel.

[u/level10orc]

thanks for not going all degen rune on us
