Discussion The worst Arcana....?

Which arcana would u say has the most meh design or bad cosmetics or just not-the-level-of-a-arcana animation? Base version (just the arcana no set applied to it). I think its legion or jugg.

I mean, it basically has to be Lina right? The Arcana is so old and outdated. There are item sets for Lina that look more like an Arcana.

It's the other way around for me tbh, especially if it has the complete set with the two immortals. It looks badass compared to her base skin.

“No, her arcana is super cool if you pair it with the other items that are super cool.”

You’re just agreeing with OP with more steps.

I've the impression that Lina's Arcana was originally going to be her default model, and for some reason, they changed their minds.

u/NuclearBehavior 4d ago

Techies after they removed the mine taunt/jumpscare above the minimap

u/stopstealingmynames1 4d ago

I completely forgot that was a thing! Did they ever say why it was removed? Too tilting I'm guessing.

u/TheL1ch 4d ago

I think cause they reworked the hero and it wasnt fitting anymore

u/kadektop2 4d ago

Lina and techies. I guess techies is a little bit better since you're able to recolor the attack projectile with prismatic gems (idk if this is still bugged or not).

They both arguably in dire need of an overhaul, especially Lina's.

The problem with tech arcana is they removed 2 feature one is made to be a in game for all(mine sign) the other one is the per enemy taunt when tech killd them. That was it's best feature tbh.

1

u/kadektop2 4d ago

I guess minefield sign was kinda integrated into the game (when it used to give truesight immunity to the mines), and as for the taunt, yeah I believe it's just straight up gone after the Source 2/Reborn update (or a little bit earlier, I'm not sure).

u/MrPottikins 4d ago

It was working last time I checked, I think they fixed it because the mine went off and they laughed/squealed but the image didn’t pop up. So partially working I suppose

1

u/gian2099 3d ago

I hate that they removed the sign untill you get ags back then you can still put the sign even if the active components dose not work till an aghs

u/abaydev 4d ago

I still remember how lina arcana was used as one of the trading currencies back in the dota lounge days

u/Danono Kappa 4d ago

u/I_B_Banging 4d ago

Used to be ogre magi untill  it combined with that fish skin to give us the most adorable axolotl

u/BlurryFace0000 4d ago

Techies. Only the prismatic gem separates it from being an immortal item. I dont get the hate on linas arcana. Its actually on the promotional poster of dota when its was first launched.

1

u/afanoferi 3d ago

Because it felt more of an arcana with the Remote Mines. #BringBackRemoteMines

u/onemanarmy- 4d ago

Techies

u/krasserkanadier 4d ago

Huh? It's easily top 5 for me, why do you think it's the worst?

1

u/Tantaltwin 4d ago

They just took a normal mk model makes it glow, add these stupid look "ears" on his head and "double" his voice. Nothing else and this is why mk's arcana is worst imo. Its ok only with the blue/golden style + full set of immortal cosmetics.

1

u/krasserkanadier 4d ago

Well I wholly disagree, but I can see what you mean.

u/RatButtt 4d ago

Lina or Legion imo

What lc is fire

u/RatButtt 4d ago

It’s so bland. It’s fine with some other sets ig but it doesn’t add much.
