Dota 2 just got a new update out of the blue and it is not a small update. The size of the update is 1.8GB with tools and the update is very interesting as it makes the game unstable for some people to Rubick Arcana details. Dota 2 update also brings updates related to the fountain, CPU performance and much more.
Dota 2 Update Main Client Update December 7, 2018 Details
Previous month Dota 2 got its one of the most anticipated patch ever since patch 7.00 was introduced which was probably the biggest and most evolutionary update to the game., changing it entirely. After the release of 7.20 three more patches were released, because there were numerous game breaking bugs and some of the reworks made the heroes overpowered. The patches were released in a sequence of alphabetical order, 7.20b, 7.20c, and 7.20d respectively.
The Dota 2 community was asking for a new patch for a long time and were quite happy with the changes as it made the game fresh by bringing an entirely new meta. The new Dota 2 update has apparently leaked the Rubick Arcana details and yes Rubick Arcana still have not released. Check out the official changelog down below.

Dota 2 Update Changelog – Containing Rubick Arcana Details
Update is very big as it updates numerous aspects of the game. Interestingly it becomes very clear that we can expect Rubick’s Arcana very soon. Considering how many updates the hero got I would not be surprised if he gets his Arcana in the very next update with the release of new hero Mars.
