Juggernaut is a melee carry hero whose most distinguishing feature is his distinct orange hue. In a game such as Dota 2,
with over 100 characters, it is important that each character's design
is unique and instantly recognisable so as not to cause confusion. This
is even more important in highly competitive multiplayer online battle
arenas, as the battlefield is constantly changing and a split-second
reaction can be the difference between a win and a loss.
Juggernaut's bright traffic cone orange, along
with his long sword and face-covering mask, make him one of the most
recognisable heroes in Dota 2. He even headlines the banner on the Dota 2 website.
Last August, the popular hero was chosen by
player vote to be the next character to receive an Arcana. An Arcana is a
rare, expensive cosmetic item in Dota 2. Only a handful of
heroes currently have one, and each only receives one. On top of
altering a hero's appearance, an Arcana may make various other cosmetic
changes such as adding custom animations, sounds and icons. Arcana don't
have any effect upon gameplay, aside from telegraphing to your
opponents that you probably have plenty of experience with this
character. At least, they shouldn't have an effect.
