12/16/20/24/28/32/36/40/44/48/52/56/60/63/66/69/72/75/78/80/82/84/86/88/90
Shortly respawn become slightly longer in early game and shorter later.
Buyback respawn penalty increased from 25 seconds to 30 to compensate.
Death to neutrals including Roshan now increases respawn time by 15 seconds.
Hero levels are now invisible in table if hero itself is invisible for player.
-ma chat command removed
Added forced flying (tossing, airborne) mechanic, what affects: leap, pounce, impales/burrowstrike/ravage, toss and some other
Previously each unit throwing was independent what makes ugly visual twitching.
Now they are connected in single phisical function, what makes pretty and smooth fly
This does not affect actual disable time if it exist but have only visual purposes.
However, abilities, which interact with actually tossed (airborne) by any way units, interacts with these units by specific way. Currently here is only Avalanche, which deals more damage to airborne units.
Also all airborne units are actually phased.
Polymorphed heroes are no longer bugged on attempt to become airborne
Roshan cannot be airborne in any case
This mechanic has been updated for even better looking, and now affects Rocket Flare and Heat Seeking Missile as well :3
From technical side this allows very easy implementing of more abilities and projectiles with similar height-changing effect
Changed Lightning Effects on units: now lightning will follow unit1 only if it's visible for player and unit2 if it's visible for player.
If one of units is not visible, the corresponding end of lightning will stay on place until revealing unit again.
Introducing new class of abilities - semi-rootable ability.
They are not silenced when hero is rooted but working differently instead and even may use different cast points.
For now 2 of them are exist: Earthshock (Ursa 1): not leaping when rooted, has 0.25 cast point in this case and Poof (Geomancer 2): always targeting self when rooted.

Note: high armor amounts became a bit more effective

Slightly rescaled base armor and in rare cases other stats on heroes

Backdoor damage reduction 25% -> 40% for non-illusions, for illusions stays 75%
Wind Walks now ends at reaching spell cast point instead of beginning of spell cast (Dota style)
Manual using of Poison Arrow Type abilities will use invis dmg bonus as well
Note: last thing will break unit animation until next attack, unfixable (?)
All this applies to Windwalk abilities only but not to permainvises (e.g. glimmer, moonlight shadow) and not to Meld unfortunally

However Homing Missile is still attackable for them
Tree killing changed to circled around points instead of rectangular
Melee units no longer deals 50% bonus damage to couriers

Temporary hidden units no longer loses selection. They are invulnerable and stunned but can take orders normally.
Only exception is Supernova.

This should make Sparks better visible in these cases
APM counter temporary removed because it does not work correctly.
Balance
Rebalanced most hero bodies
Globally: attack range of all ranged heroes higher than 600 decreased to 600. Reason: All ranged over 600 was implemented in dota as stupid "compensation" of sick attack animations which aint exist here.

Spit attribute percentage drain 15% -> 9/10/11/12%
Essence Shift can now make target attributes negative as well
Shackles, Dismember and Fiend's Grip are now completely ignored by enemy's Lotus Orb buff on cast.
Note: Dota mechanics with channeling reflected spell on caster by reflecting unit instead is kinda sick for Lod, while blocking spell completely by having Lotus Buff does not makes sence.
Effect still may be dispelled when dispelling from victim
Dismember tickrate 1 sec -> 0.5 sec, Searing Chains tickrate 0.1 -> 0.4

Instead it stops only specific movements (a-la Dota) : Skewer (caster only), Lightning Grapple (caster only), Trample, Leap, Pounce, Force Staff / Hurricane Pike
This mean that victim may be e.g. hooked or vacuumed in or out of field; dive, charge, hookshot etc etc can pass through also.

Soul Catcher (Shadow Demon 2) reworked
Removes current health percentage from enemies in AoE for short duration
When time is over or debuff dispelled, enemies regains only half of lost hp back
Health regained depends on half of lost health from previous cast, not on actual unit hp
Could be resisted. Could be dispelled. Ignores magic immune units
Debuff is not stackable, ends previous Soul Catcher prematurely
Icon and visual effects are unchanged
Note: skill effect is *not* damage, so in pierces any resistance, does not interact with damage effects and spell amplification and also pierces things like False Promise. Spell cannot kill unit even if it has 1 hp.

Haunt illusion duration was already increased by 1 second to 5/6/7 somewhen, which was not intended
Now it's officially 5/6/7 seconds, and thought Haunt's best way to use is just teleporting to enemy and dealing with him by self, Reality requires slight nerf to give at least split-second to react
Reality cast time 0.2 -> 0.4
