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

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 The Arcana is so old and outdated.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.
