Dota 2
TEMPLAR ASSASSIN - Concealed Raven [MLG]
Why are people so insistent of making TA sets without the mouth piece?
The mouth mask is an important piece of a ninja's disguise. The lower face has some of the most distinguishing features that make it easier to identify someone face-to-face. It also givess that all important sense of mystery and secrecy that is essential to TA as a character. Really, just look at 80% of her voice lines. Removing features from TA is not a good idea, as one only needs to look at that god-awful mess that is the Onyx Lotus set. She's be so boring if all she was just a magenta lady with some cleavage, she doesn't need the sex appeal, if that's what it's about. it's not in character and just detracts from such an interesting concept. Also, she uses psi-blades and is a ranged hero, what's with that wierd wrist spike? Why would that be there? Who ever designed this really needs to look back and reimagine cosmetics as more than just adding random spikes and ♥♥♥♥ to be cool and removing clothes to be edgy.

I saw a thread in one of the individual piece's pages that suggested that this would be better on Phantom Assassin, and I totally agree. This set's design seems to suit PA much better than it ever would Templar Assassin.

Anyway, that's my rant. This should not be implemented.

you are entitled to your opinion as am I and I think this set is fine for TA, mouth piece or not.

Keep up the good quality of work guys.

I looked at the head piece alone and mistook her for Drow. Overall seems like a decent set, though.
I kinda agree, however that thematically it fits PA better

To be honest, it took a while for me to actually like that piece. It always felt so turkish/muslim/japanese to me until I got used to it. Now it's k
(don't ask me how so/why japan, idk :D)

If you don't like it then don't bother with it, but other people clearly like it, including me. No point ♥♥♥♥♥♥ all over a cosmetic item, especially when someone worked hard to design it.

You just have to change some of the colors, Make the items fit PA's model and stance, and also add A weapon. There you have a PA set(do cover up some parts though, PA is well armored). "Coverings of the Covert Raven" would be a nice name too.

I agree with you 100%. TA's mask should be like Bayonetta's glasses, to remove them is sacrilege.

TA's mask is just an optional style, ninjas nowadays are not defined by their looks, u need to think outside of the box in order to make something great sometimes. I like both kind of styles, with mask and without it. I'm open to stereotypes changes as long as they can make TA more amazing. :steamhappy:

in dota 1 lanaya doesnt have her mouth covered, she kinda looks like the bad queen from snow white (although i cant remember the name, the lady with the mirror complex)

Check out Blinding Night set guys. Much better than this
