Broodmother
- Incapacitating Bite miss chance from 10/20/30/40% to 30/40/50/60%
- Spawn Spiderlings unit count increased from 1/2/3/3 to 1/2/3/4
Can't wait to feed even more spiderlings to the enemy team.

I was about to quote that, I hope that means it carries over to lvl 3 as well.
CMs passive mana regen increased
Dazzle - Shallow Grave can now be cast on magic immune allies (lol BKB graved)
DK - Corrosive Breath passive from Level 1 Elder Form now carries over to Level 2 (the DPS)
Timbersaw
- Base Strength increased by 3
- Int growth increased from 1.8 to 2.4
- Chakram initial manacost rescaled from 125/150/175 to 75/125/175
- Chakram move speed increased from 800 to 900
Lich - Chainfrost bounce count increased from 7 to 10
Lifestealer - Open Wounds cast range decreased from 600 to 200/300/400/500
Magnus - Reverse Polarity damaged decreased from 150/225/300 to 50/125/200
Phantom Lancer - Spirit Lance, Dopplewalk, Juxtapose and Phantom Edge illusions damage dealt decreased from 25% to 20%
Bloodstone
- Initial charges increased from 6 to 8
- Can be activated to instantly kill yourself. This will cause it to trigger the AoE heal that always happens when you die with Bloodstone. 300 second cooldown. Targets the ground to be used, to help prevent accidental usage.
Gem of True Sight - Gem can no longer be destroyed
And check this shit. No buyback = New meta
Necrolyte
- If a unit dies under Reaper's Scythe, it will be credited to Necrolyte
- Aghanim's Reaper's Scythe causes buyback to be disabled on heroes it kills for that death
It would say it did. Slow is better anyways. This is just so people dont pass on level 2 until 15.
Though I did like the strategic choice of tower pushing vs stack farming.

Timbersaw Buffs? Timbersaw Buffs:
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I predict many accidental bloodstone suicides in the trench
That seems unnecessary

Wait...so I can actually view an item build in match now and select it just by clicking on the items when near a shop? There's a tutorial now?!
Well time to actually try this properly then.

Invoker is slightly buffed, but not in any real meaningful way. Probably still won't see much play.
Huskar removed from CM after changes. Now gets magic resist stacks from Berserker's Blood as well as a lot more attack speed. Loses the bonus damage though.

Why? Timbersaw desperately needed buffs if he ever wanted to see competitive play.

Xin, the Ember Spirit has been added to CM so I wonder if he'll get rushed into Dota 2 for TI3
Centaur has also been added back into CM pool
Also Medusa and Huskarr have been removed from CM pool due to changes to their ults
PL illusion damage has been nerfed from 25-20%- don't think it will make too much of a difference

Yup. Bear just got dumped on.
In other news - Lion's Aghs is now ridiculous?
1000 nuke every 20 seconds lol. Not that he's gonna have the mana pool to support more than ~2 if he's using other spells.
Very very interesting changes. Especially the aghs upgrades.
The balance changes are going to come very soon. Probably next week? The new heroes though yes will take awhile

I'm gonna post a few really interesting item changes I found about sight. This stuff is going to have a huge impact on early warding and blocking jungle spawns

So we now have Ember Spirit and Legion Commander added as required heroes for CM mode.
So if they hope to get all the CM heroes added by TI3 they better hurry on ES. I kind of figured LC would be added to CM mode, what with Valve actively working on her (why would they work on her if she's not comp viable?)
We'll see everything but the new heroes next week. It's probably why the last few patches were light.

The heroes wont make it over any time soon (lots of others ahead of them still), but the rest will be in with in the next week problably.
Its likely youll only get LC and Abaddon. No files for other heroes have been patched in for weeks.
The balance changes should be in next Thursday, I'd expect to see a few heroes too.
Expect to see the balance update in a week at the latest.
There's so much good stuff in that changelog that even though i wanted Invoker to get a little base damage buff i'm still happy.

We could get it early as this weekend (maybe even tonight who knows) but probably by next week.
New heroes are forever away though. The changes though are asap.
The optimist in me just says that they didn't like people rooting through them, not that we aren't getting more soon
6.78, Abaddon, and LC next week as the final big patch before TI3. :^)
We'll see the balance changes next patch I imagine. Heroes will come when they come, though when dota 2 reaches parity with dota 1 I expect any new heroes to come at the same time.

New heroes probably not for awhile. Other stuff if not today, next week's patch.
Mirana - still sad:
Even with those buffs I don't think it's enough. Perhaps only as support/utility.

The pick ban phase going faster will be fun. A whole minute shaved off the potential max.

Skeleton King may see some play now! Some pretty good buffs on him.
And that Silencer Aghs is just cruel.
Spirit Breaker buff is pretty damn strong as well. He's gonna be the bashiest bashlord.

Oh man, the earth spirit looks so amazing. I really can't wait for him to end up in Dota 2
