It's all about moderation. Of course I don't want growls of creature sounds in Dota 1, but Valve is terribly overdoing it with every. single. character. They're all OBSESSED with their theme/puns.
It's not the tasteful 'once in awhile' that makes you laugh, it's tiresome and groan-worthy.
See, some banters are fitting all the time in certain comic heroes. Alche & Tinker are great and jokes work. Even 'serious' heroes with seldom jokes are hilarious. Unfortunately MOST of them over do it and are not funny.
You can bet your hero will say everything and anything about their very title:
Lifestealer = ALL MY QUOTES ARE ABOUT STEALING SOMETHING
"HAI IM AXE, I'M GOING TO RHYME EVERYTHING WITH 'AXE'. AXE ATTAXE! AXE HACKS!
"ES, HERE COMES ALL THE SHALLOW GRADESCHOOL PUNS, SHAKE GROUND, YOU'RE GROUNDED, SLAM DUNK, ETC"
"I AM BOUNTY HUNTER, ILL DO IT FOR THE RIGHT PRICE, NAME YOUR PRICE, FOR THE BOUNTY, WAS THERE A BOUNTY ON MEEE????
WC3 had 'funny' sounds too but they were 'hidden', only when you spam clicked them and Blizz put them in there as an 'easter egg'.
But Valve, these units throw the worst puns and won't stfu with CONSTANT ATTEMPT at jokes/puns.
"I WEAVE your fate"
"Your vital THREAD"
"To the LOOM with you, to be REWOVEN"
"Caught in the MESH"
"I hate to leave LOOSE ENDS"
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I GET IT YOU'RE A 'WEAVER', or 'TINY' or 'EARTHSHAKER'. WHO THE HELL GOES AROUND CONSTANTLY THROWING BAD PUNS ABOUT THEMSELVES IN A FIGHT?
Sorry for the bipolar post. It derived from my half-joke thread in PD, but I wanted to make a legit opinion here. Thank you for reading.
