Changes

General Changes

• Facets removed from the game

• Innate abilities no longer scale with other abilities' level
  • All innate abilities that used to scale with other abilities now either provide unchangeable bonuses or improve on 'per level' basis
  • Abilities that improve with hero level have base value and increment value. Some also have amount of levels required for increment
  • Added UI icon that shows you which parameters increase with hero level and what is the current value
  • Some non-innate ability might have this per level UI as well
  • Abilities that had 'per level up' scaling changed to be 'per level'
  • This mostly affects heroes reworked in update 7.40 and Largo

• Flagbearer Creep Experience Bounty increased from 57 to 60
• First +1 Siege Creep timing decreased from 35:00 to 30:00
• Second +1 Siege Creep timing now occurs at 60:00

• Adjusted the meeting point of the lane creeps toward the offlane
  • Now offlane creeps are slightly slowed upon leaving the base for a couple of seconds
  • Safe lane creeps are slightly accelerated upon leaving the base for a couple of seconds
  • Both of these changes are effective until the 7:30 mark

• All sections of currents now give a max movement speed bonus of 150

Map Objectives

• Roshan's pit preference has switched

• Wisdom Shrines and Lotus Pools now reverse their countdowns if heroes from opposing teams enter the area, * instead of pausing the countdown
  • Wisdom Shrine Experience changed from 280 per interval to 200 base and 300 per subsequent shrine (200/500/800 etc)

Terrain Changes

• Tormentor spawns have been positioned closer towards Lotus Pools
• Tormentor spawn areas have been reduced to low ground relative to the lane's level

• Lotus Pools have been moved slightly closer to their respective offlane tower

• Twin Gates slightly moved away from the stairs towards the map border

• The watcher between the safe lane tier 1 tower and the tormentor has been repositioned

• Result:
  • Tormentor is on the low ground which has three stairs: one leading to the Lotus Pool, one leading to the lane, and one leading to even higher ground area with the Twin Gate
  • Twin Gate highground area is now smaller and has three stairs: one that leads to new Tormentor area, one that leads back to the lane, and one that goes two levels down straight to the end of the stream
  • Watcher is now between two stairs: one that goes down to the Tormentor and one that goes up to the Twin Gate

• Ancient neutral camps near stream ends demoted to medium camps and moved slightly towards bases

• Medium neutral camp near offlane defender's gate has been demoted to a small neutral camp

• The tier 1 safe lane towers have been moved slightly away from their pull camps and where the creeps meet
• Radiant safe lane small camp has been slightly moved north away from the lane
• Radiant safe lane hard camp's spawn box has been moved towards the offlane to remove a bad ward location
• Radiant offlane tier 2 tower has been adjusted slightly to the left, such that creeps do not path on both sides of the tower
• The ramp leading from the Radiant tier 1 tower to the stream has been decreased in width and moved away from the tower
• The medium flooded camp near the safe lane tier 2 towers moved closer to the middle of the stream (substantially more for Dire than for Radiant)
• The medium flooded camp near the safe lane tier 2 towers can now only evolve once into a hard camp, rather than into an Ancient Camp
• The medium flooded camp near the bounty runes can now evolve twice into an Ancient Camp
• Removed several trees from Dire Safelane easy pull camp and Radiant Safelane hard pull camp

Mechanics Changes

• Health Restoration
  • Health Restoration now applies to all forms of life gain
  • Incoming Heal Amplification now stacks diminishingly with Health Restoration instead of additively with Outgoing Heal Amplfication
  • Spells that previously had a separate value for incoming heal reduction now only modify Health Restoration
  • As a result of the changes, spells that only modified Health Restoration will now additionally affect incoming heals

• Lifesteal and Damage Manipulations
  • Physical and Magical Lifesteal will now take into account overall damage reductions/amplifications when computing how much to lifesteal
  • Historically, Lifesteal was calculated before some damage reductions or amplifications were applied. As a result, you could gain health from attacks that dealt no damage (like attacks against a hero affected by Aeon Disk's Combo Breaker). This will not happen anymore
    • The only amplification that is not taken into account is increased damage against illusions

• Miscellaneous
  • All sources of reflection damage now have an ALT-note detailing mechanics of reflected damage
