Looking at the things that dominate a Dota 2 meta is always fun.

But analyzing why something isnt performing too well requires a lot more thought and nuance.

A few days ago, we took a look atthe best performing Aghanims Shards in the DPC Spring Tour.

Today, we look at the least popular Aghanims Shards from the 2021-2022 DPC Spring Tour.

Looking at the least popular Shards is a bit tricky.

All the data was obtained fromdatDota.

Miranas Aghanims Shard upgrade was changed in Dota 2 patch 7.31.

Grants +1 Leap Charge.

Mirana has been a popular hero for the past many patches (years, possibly?

), but as a support hero.

So her previous Shard wasnt used too much.

So it was changed in patch 7.31 to something completely abysmal.

The new Shard upgrade is not a consideration for any position.

Abaddon also had his Shard reworked in patch 7.31.

In that itemization, 1400 gold is a bit too much to spend on the Shard.

A slight buff will make it worth the 1400 gold.

For heroes like Skywrath Mage and Undying the Shard isnt bad, but it isnt suited to their roles.

For the heroes mentioned above, it gets even harder, as the heroes are already popular.
