Greetings everyone, who determined to check whole changelog for this year version leap. Have... patience, i guess?

Bugfixes
Even more fixed bug with second appearing hero instead of illusion smh
Again fixed 1-shot bug in specific circumstance
Fixed Illuminate being clickable on units instead of ground, thus sometimes revealing caster when used not to
Fixed Psi Blades splash effect being unaffected by Break
Fixed Homing Missile interaction with spell reflection if original caster is already dead
Fixed Greed statistic display counts total gold for bounty runes instead of only bonus gold
Fixed numbers in Retaliate description (yes, problems become so rare that i can log stuff like this again)
Fixed second Stampede, Haunt sound were not audiable
Fixed Steamrollers and Sleight of Fist behaviour when recasted before ending
Fixed icenix fire spirits debuff visual effect
Fixed Ogre Powa being not displayed as silenced under Break
Fixed Sadist, Warpath and Static Field been displayed silenced under silence, even tho they are passive
Cleaned some trash from map, thus decreased load time
Visuals
Neutral camps will be shown on minimap as filled every minute even if they got blocked at this spawning instance
Thus it becomes slightly harder for enemies to recognize that something went wrong rather than easily detect wards
Decreased visual size of most buildings to better match their real collision
Added buff indication to:
Reality Rift armor reduction
Cold Embrace
Adaptiveness (illusions has it too)
Ogre Powa (illusions has it too)
Craggy Exterior (illusion has indication but not reflecting effect)
Added visual effects on:
Trample slow
Earth Splitter slow
Reality Rift debuff
Changed Greed Scepter icon
Mechanics
All pure damage bonuses on hit will not be dealt as one damage instance, just like it happens with magical damage (glaives of wisdom, impetus, desolate)
Note 1: this used to fix bug which i could not repeat on test — stealing stats forever with combo of glaive + essence shift
Note 2: there's gonna be more pure damage bonuses, so it's done prematurely
Note 3: there are only 3 abilities left, which reacts on each damage instance independently, so in rare cases this change will make them slightly stronger.

Chat commands
Improved -mute chat command, now supports massive muting, relatively:
"all" or "everyone"
"ally" or "allies"
"enemy" or "enemies"
-mute 0 will no longer mute hostbot
Muting all includes muting host messages
New possibilities to mute host personally are:
For everyone
-mute 12
for RGC:
-mute RGC
-mute rgc
For Atinad and probably others:
-mute HOST
-mute host
Actually any of these commands should work at any platform, just adding them to have obvious texting
Note 1
-unmute has same options, obviously, if whyever you will want to talk with specific badass again
Note 2
You MAY mute or unmute self but only by writing specific number.
Massive muting / unmuting will skip you

Fixed multiboards says creep "K/N/D" instead of K/D/N" even tho change was reverted
Recoded Arctic burn and Elder Dragon Form for more correct debuff applying
Recoded Feast bonus damage for correct interaction with hp changes
Added warning when picking Melee Forced abilities
Corrosive Skin poisoning does no longer work on illusions (magic resist remains)
Elder Dragon Form
All on attack effects are now completely shutted down by Break: poison, splash, cold (doesnt matter how it was before)
Flesh Golem
No longer has area effect of 275 around enplagued targets
Now additionally affects everyone who attacks Dirge, enplagues them for 3 seconds instead of 6 in this case
Does not affect invulnerable attackers but still pierces magic immunity
Ancient creeps magic resistance 70% -> 50%
Equalised additional weapon stats on Ancient Protectors and Spirit Towers
Tier 1 towers damage +2, Tier 2 towers damage -6 and base attack time +0.02. Difference between them was a bit too high
89t0 (balancing and technical update)
-bo mode updates:
Zeus and Furion ults are pickable together
New feature 1
Forcing attack to be melee or ranged, independent of actual attacker weapon type
Stifling Dagger, Tricks of the Trade, Sleight of Fist and Omnislash attacks changed to be always treated as melee attacks.
New feature 2
In addition to increased spell damage Spell Amplification now affects mana burned from most mana burning and mana draining abilities
Mana Break (Antimage passive, Diffusal and Sublimal blades) is also affected
Note 1: Exception is Nerubian's Scepter which does not burn mana but decreases mana regeneration
Note 2: For abilities which damage depends on amount of burned mana damage is not multiplied twice by SAmp, instead it only multiplies burned mana, and then damage dealt is equal to percentage of burned mana
Note 3: Energy Drain drains slightly more mana from heroes over every tick while draining spell amp
Note 4: Abilities which reduces enemy mana via stealing intelligence are unaffected this way
Illusions
Recoded ranged illusions damage dealt to avoid inconsistence numbers with polymorphs, thus some small rebalance happens:
Illusion rune
Damage dealt 35% all -> 36% (24% ranged)
Damage taken 200% (300% ranged) -> 250% all
Manta Style
Damage dealt 33% (28% ranged) -> 36% (24% ranged)
Damage taken 300% melee (350% ranged) -> 300% all

Duration 3.5/4.0/4.5/5.0 -> 5.0
MS slow 20% -> 12/18/24/30%
Damage dealt 55/70/85/100% all -> 45/66/87/108% melee (30/44/58/74% ranged)
Manacost 75 -> 70/80/90/100
Disruption
Damage dealt 30/45/60/75% all -> 33/51/69/87% melee, 22/34/46/58% ranged
Wall of Replica
Damage dealt 60/80/100% -> 60/84/108% melee (40/56/72% ranged)
Spirit Lance
Damage dealt 20/25/30/35% -> 21/27/33/39% melee (14/18/22/26% ranged)
Juxtapose
Damage dealt 22% (16%) -> 24% (16%)
Phantasm, Mirror Image, Conjure Image, Haunt stays nearly same in result
Other skills
Bulldoze no longer uses special animation for Spirit Cat skin (as it looks weird and out of place)
Double Edge
Attribute requirement changed from Main to Strength
Base damage 120/180/240/300 -> 100/150/200/250
Now grants bonus strength as percentage of caster strength except bonus strength from Double Edge (thus each stack does not multiply other stacks) on moment of cast per every affected
Bonus is provided after initial damage if caster is not dying in process e.g. to damage reflection
Thus initial cast is not affected by bonus, but following casts are
Spell block interaction: still deals self-damage, however does not provide bonus
Spell reflection interaction: reflecting hero receives bonus as well
Dispel interaction: undispellable
Each stack is independent of other
Number on ability displays numerical bonus
Received bonus strength straigtly increases current HP, losing it retains hp percentage
Bonus strength is NOT treated as heal and overlaps False Promise and Ice Blast
Bonus str: 5/6/7/8% per affected enemy hero, 1.0/1.2/1.4/1.6% per creep or illusion. Rounded down after calculating total bonus per cast.
Duration: 18/22/26/30 seconds

Chance 15%
AoE 375 (normal cast 525)
Affected by Break

Now instantly breaks when dragger uses Fire Jump, doesn't matter distance
Note: "dragger" means unit which carries unit next to it; for secondary target of upgraded Lasso this is primary target

http://d1stats.ru/extras

Some files could've been lost during repairing, so please, in case of lacking some icons (green icon) or units/effect models report immediately

Own recipes can now be alt-highlighted just like all other items
TP Scroll alt-click now shows actual level of ability. To shorten message it says in number:
lvl 1 for non-upgraded
lvl 2 for first TP upgrade
lvl 3 for second TP upgrade
Some more units does no longer trigger hightlight "unit attacked": Swarm beetles, Supernova Sun, Ignis Fatuus, Homing Missile
Multiboard now displays bought Dusts separately and Gems in addition to Wards
Gifting Aghanim now creates visual effect similar to gifting Moonshard
Technical updates
Skills may now be learned / leveled up under any disables!
Recoded bonus attack ranges, should not bug anyhow anymore
Recoded Bloodstone manareg, now works for spirit bear and illusions
Recoded Demonic Purge slow, thus no default "purge" type ability slows left in game
Tree Of Life / Frozen Throne (which one survived) now instantly turns invulnerable when game ends to prevent megarare (maybe 1/30000 games) cases when both dies at same second
Updated (mostly increased) cast range of Impales (Lion, Nerub), all shockwave-type and some skillshot-type spells, so they will match effective range of spell including it's effect radius
Note: only CAST ranges updates, not actual effect ranges
Full list:
Impale (Lion), Impale (Nerub), Dragon Slave, Carrion Swarm, Dual Breathe, Breathe Fire, Spit, Shockwave (magnus), Shockwave (neutral satyr when captured), Shockwave (Doom), Poison Touch, Sonic Wave, Illuminate, Meat Hook, Elune's Arrow, Hookshot, Fissure
Hood, Pipe and Flame Guard damage block now works in certain order instead of consuming all shields at once:
Hood and Pipe shields works depending on time when shield was layed, so oldest always protects first, Flame Guard always receives damage after them but before Raindrop
Hood and Pipe now shares cooldown
Raindrop block priority moved higher than these shields
Slightly rearranged damage bonuses order:
Damage penalty (stifling dagger, tricks of the trade) takes into account Marksmanship and Manabreaks dmg bonus
Critical strike is now displayed after adding Marksmanship and Manabreaks dmg bonus
Melee heroes bonus attack range against wards 150 -> 165
Psi Blades and Accurate Shot are no longer restricted for melee only, works correctly for melee heroes (not provides bonus range, only additional effects
Fix of interaction was needed for Spell Steal + these ranges anyway + polymorphs combo anyway
So now they can be picked most likely with melee polymorphs, surely still not recommended to be picked with just melee hero as bonus range will have no effect
Telekinesis Land now always deletes information about previous landing
While unit flies into target point, pointer is moved to this point if it's further
Spells
Elune's Arrow, Meat Hook, Hookshot, Powershot, Timber Chain:
Now spawns slightly in front of caster instead of right at his place and effectively avoiding hitting units behind
Small fixes about their effective distance
Slightly increased Elune's Arrow bonus damage based on distance
Slightly increased Powershot tree kill radius
Meat Hook distance is now exactly equal to written at every level (it was rounded to 36.25 instead of to 25)
Meat Hook now stops instantly when caster dies
Meat Hook no longer prevents caster from moving till hook beginning backdragging
Fixed Meat Hook bonus cast range was applied slightly incorrectly
Timber Chain cooldown 4 -> 5.5/5.0/4.5/4.0
Tidebringer cooldown 14/11/8/5 -> 13/10/7/4 (numbers on tooltip were slightly incorrect btw)
Great Cleave cleave distance 700 -> 600, cleave percentage 25/45/65/85 -> 24/41/58/75
Empower cleave distance 650 -> 550, cleave percentage 15/30/45/60 -> 14/26/38/50
Battle Fury cleave distance 650 -> 550, percentage 60 -> 50
Infernal Blade cooldown 14/11/8/5 -> 10/8/6/4, manacost 40 -> 35
Energy Drain, Arcane Curse and Sand Storm negative spell amplification is no longer affected by Status Resistance again
Battle Hunger negative damage is no longer affected by Status Resistance
Spiked Carapace
Changed again, no longer grants bonus armorand magic resistance, instead it protects from any kind of damage from enemies (not hpremoval)
Carapace receives 56/64/72/80% of damage instead of carrier, and when it protects for up to X damage, it cracks with same effect as before
Means that while hero receives only 20% damage it's carapace receives 80%, thus it may crack very soon
Duration 5/6/7/8 -> 6/7/8/9
Maximum flat shield capacity slightly reduced (by 20%)
Damage protection priority is ~average (after Ghost Ship and before Mana Shield)
Main difference from previous: damage protection is stronger, more likely cracks soon and thus applies full possible damage
Omnislash
Can now be casted during wind walks
This does not change much in revealing time but allows to hit from invis with using this WW's special effect on target enemy
As side-effect this will allow to cancel linken's from WW by Omnislash, which is only difference in actual WW revealing
Chance to change target while it stays nearby 50% -> 33%
Mass Serpent Ward
Attack damage 25/40/55 -> 28/46/64
Aghanim's possible bonuses changed to:
+1 target, +35 attack speed, +2 hp
It's still 1 of 3 random bonuses at each cast

Manacost 250/375/500 -> 300/400/500
Cooldown 90 -> 120
Aghanim upgrade now also increases reveal duration from 3 to 6 seconds

Damage 70/140/210/280 -> 90/155/220/285

Does no longer grant bonus armor
Damage dealt 40/60/80/100 -> 40/60/80/100 + 30/45/60/75% of damage dealt (before reductions) as magical damage
So difference from Blademail reflection is in type (BM reflects damage of same type to any sources, Craggy deals Magical damage always but only against attacks)
Note: Don't forget that Siege Golem in -sc mode has Craggy now
Poison Attack (Viper 1st) reworked
Now deals DPS and reduces victim's movement speed and magic resistance

AoE 500 -> 525

Items
Rune of Invisibility recoded, now acts like Wind Walk:
— Reveals caster when attack animation or cast animation finishes instead of beginning of attack or cast animation
— Allows casting spells which can be used during Wind Walks
— Allows to pass through units
— No longer dispellable
— Duration and fade time stays the same: 45 and 2 seconds accordingly
— Overrides and becomes overrided by other Wind Walks, so take care of autoactivating it from Bottle during other WWS, especially Vendetta
— Will not be used automatically if user is stunned or inventory is muted, but this was already correct for all bottled runes
Gem of True Sight can now be consumed
This action requires just a 700 gold "recipe", which can be found near consumable Aghanim in Black Market
However it has some drawbacks:
1) Consumed Gem provides less AoE detection than normal Gem
2) It will drop on death in form of normal Gem, thus requires to consume it again and so spend gold
3) It cannot be droped prematurely
4) Consumed version counts as 1600 gold in player's Nethworth, thus grants additional bounty per kill
Gem of True Sight's last carrier is now always counts as it's owner
Gem of True Sight now provides small area vision and true sight around itself for last owner when dropped on ground (AoE 300, type Ground)

Gameplay
Changed Siege Units logic:
They will prefect towers and barracks rather than other buildings around (but other creeps don't have this property)
Also fixed that they may act wrong in very rare cases
Skills
Changed Fear effect interaction:
Every following layed Fear effect on unit will instantly cancel previous
Haunting illusions changed to be immune to Fear
Note: "Fear" is when unit control is disabled, and instead unit acts differently depending on effect (Berserker's Call, Pocket Nuclear Charge, War Terror, Winter's Curse)
Changed interaction of Status Resistance and: Inner Fire, Gust, Blinding Light, Flamebreak, Deafening Blast, Vacuum, Greater Bash
Now they pushes with high status resist faster, so total push distance stays same but unit is unable to move for less time
For Blinding Light and Flamebreak victim's aietime is also modified
Lion's Impale is no longer blockable or reflectable, thus none of spells with AoE effect in game are blockable or reflectable
Lion Impale is no longer unit targetable
NYX Impale cooldown 14 -> 12
These 2 are completely equal rn, let's see what we can do with this later
Manacost on both slightly decreased

Damage per hit 22/40/58/76 -> 25/40/55/70
Total amount of shots 14 -> 10/12/14/16
So duration 11.2 -> 8.2/9.36/10.34/11.2
Borrowed Time changed
Previously it was activated if hero takes damage while being below 400 hp or below 20% of max hp
Now activates when incoming damage is *going to* make victim hp below 200 *after all reductions*
So it activates literally *always* except when victim is under Break (however, Breaks are always layed *before* Damage by attacks and spells)
To not make much difference from manual usage of BT, triggered damage instance is already converted to heal, like if it was used right before taking hit
Note: don't tell me that this is OP, you've voted for this change
Telekinesis Land will now forget last coordinates after 15 seconds of non-using it or if Telekinesis owner dies or after single Telekinesis usage
So it will use victim coordinates instead, so not throws anywhere, keeps on place
While coordinates are unknown, effect is not shown as well
Purification and Heavenly Grace can now be used on invulnerable allies

Vacuum tree killing AoE 200 -> 167/200/233/266

89aJ
Very important:
Config & Chat Commands
Added more natural lightings:
1 2 3 4 5 6, so -light 1 / -light 2, etc, to get proper one
Default lighting changed from Ashenvale (new "3") to Lordaeron (new "1") to be more contrast and less dark at same time
Lights 5 and 6 are about "underground" lightong, which has no difference in coloring and brightness over actual daytime, may be more useful for professional gaming
So config string "ClassicNaturalLighting=false" (or =true) replaced by "NaturalLighting=1" (or 2,3,4,5,6)
Keep in mind that ingame commands can only change lighting but not ambient sounds, if they are still not disabled in game options by whatever reasons
So if you need changed ambient sounds, change lighting via config
Config in map replaced, should've unpack clean new config after deleting previous
So if you want to obtain it, just delete old config.lod.ini from wc3 folder and make settings in fast pace again
Now Doubleclick Helper is enabled by default
Fixed -qbind for items was shifted in wrong side (thus -qbind -1 worked for item slot 3, -qbind -4 for itemslot 6, and slots 1 and 2 were unqbindable)

"Fixed" some ultimative spells being wasted on magic immune enemies if immunity is obtained during cast swing, e.g.: Reaper's Rcythe, Finger of Death, etc, as it is not affected by fix above
Note: Assassinate does not pierce magic immunity but can be channeled prematurely so it's not prevented to use

All Roots now provides full vision over target instead of only invisibility revealing
Cast times (CT)
CTR - Cast Time Reduction

Bonuses stacks multiplicatively (e.g. +25% = /1.25)
Debuffs stacks linearly (e.g. -25% = multiplier-0.25)
Overall formula: base cast time * (1 - bonus 1) * (1 - bonus 2)... * (debuff multiplier)
Drunken Haze
Strong beer now decreases victim's CTR by 14/18/22/26% for duration
Miss change 45/55/65/75 -> 40/50/60/70

Note2: swapped skill positions with Flamebreak (follows order: long ranged / targeted spell first, followed by close-range and non-targeted
Rotten Heap, Voodoo Restoration, Pulse Nova and Attribute Shift can now be toggled on and off if hero is silenced but does not provide their effects (none of manacost/damage/slow/heal/switch/etc)

(75 + VictimNetworth ^ 0.533) * SquareRoot(VictimLevel)
Note for somebody who struggling with maths or names:
x^0.5 = SquareRoot(x), x^0.533 is bigger than x
Experience reward slightly decreased for low levels, slightly increased for higher levels
Old formula:
200 * SquareRoot(VictimLevel * 1.5 - 0.5)
New formula:
185 * SquareRoot(VictimLevel * 2 - 1)

This includes revealing if invisibility
Skills: Track, Amplify Damage, Static Link, Last Word, Lightning Bolt, Shackles, Fiend's Grip, Dismember, Life Drain, Thirst

Drum of Endurance total cost 1500 -> 1650
Note: now it's currently fairly stronger pickup than any mid-grade boots, so cost is raised up slightly
Tranquil Boots can now be used by illusions normally. They follows same rule as on hero/bear and begins with normal state always.
Units
Alpha Wolf aura 30% -> 20%, Hp 650 -> 800, damage 30-33 -> 34-38

Fixed Quill Spray protection at higher skill levels being slightly weaker than intended
Fixed Lightning Grapple slow being counted as buff instead of as debuff in dispels
Fixed Spirit Wolves stucking in terrain sometimes when summoned
Fixed Holy Beads going on full cooldown when used with 0 charges (idk how tho)
Fixed Stone Gaze slows more than intended (50% instead of 35%)
Fixed Polymorphs breaks on add (testmode only)
Fixed some things breaks Rexxar Eagle flight state (e.g. Surge buff)
Fixed some of Avalanche animations being a bit too overwhelming (doubled)
Fixed text about banned heroes lasts different time for title and names (now 30 seconds everything)
Fixed Pit of Malice visual effect was delayed together with rooting effect, which is not intended
Fixed Pit of Malice reveals enemy invisiblity forever instead of rooting time only
Fixed devouring Harpy Storm gives nothing
Fixed Heartstopper aura affecting Roshan
Fixed interaction of damage from multiple Demonic Purge debuffs on same target (now refreshes duration instead of not dealing damage from following casts at all)

Fixed Chilling Touch debuff affects allies
Fixed Cleaves working when attacking structures
Fixed Craggy Exterior check on magic immunity of target instead of attacker
Fixed Icarus Dive being stopped even by instant (0.00 sec) stuns, e.g. by interrupting unit and being moving faster when hero casts spells during it

Fixed Pocket Nuclear Charge breaks some other visual effects (suddenly it was breaking only until alt-tab)
Fixed False Promise continues slightly unproperly if target is invulnerable and small fix in visual indication
Fixed Geostrike not working from illusions
Fixed bug which was caused by new Javelins and other magical bonus damage to attack effects, which prevented some other attack effects from working if target dies to this damage
Note: something recoded for that, so also improves performance, especially in big fights
Fixes most of silences being undispellable properly
Fixed Force Staff and it's upgrade push being dispellable by wrong way and thus causes some problems until next cast of Force on unit
Now it's effect divided by allies and enemy, like other buffs. So allied pushing buff is dispellabe by an enemy dispel, and enemy's pushing debuff by allies.
Partially fixed Shapeshift aura units stucking (hard to explain tho)
Recoded Reactive Armor, should not bug anymore
Visuals, Sound and texts
Chat command -light got updated tip and can be used like -light 1 or -light 2 instead of full naming

Spirit Lance Break removed
Tempest (devoured) now ends when caster dies
Items
Orchid and Bloodthorn
Damage is no longer amplified by Spell Amplification (as damage outcome meant to be amplified already when taken and recorded to be multiplied)

Note: making item more useful later in game and not incredibly useful when used 5 on same target at same time, as well as adding timing for more effective usage.

Fixed Battle Hunger slow stays forever until next debuff if caster dies before it was removed from victim
Fixed Time Walk heals on maximum possible amount even after taking minimal damage

Balance
Time Walk
No longer heals twice per same damage instances if it was cooldowned very fast by some reasons
Now heals over jump time instead of instantly at cast, while exact total heal amount is calculated at jump beginning (reminder that it does not grant invulnerability anymore, so hero may get killed during jump more likely and vise versa, heal more in some cases, and also if jump would be interrupted somehow, heal will not be completed)
Heal cap removed, no longer strictly limited at % of maximum hp of carrier. Instead it now heals by not all of stored damage. Heal is equal to dmg in degree of 0.84/0.86/0.88/0.9 aka dmg ^ x, where "x" depends on skill level
Note: Means it's no longer "better to use on tanks", and even vise versa, heal efficiency falls with increased amount of stored damage, so having big chunk of armor or resistance is more important in this case, what properly buffed or armored carry or hardcarry would more likely have
Goblin's Greed now works on denies, and bonus gold is full, unlike normal deny gold being only 20%.
Greed bonus gold again appears as separated gold near victim
Note: Greed is fairly very weak in early game and then proceeding even in midgame may be very hard, so Greed received more usability in laning.
Magnetic Field now pushes enemies a bit further away than ally buff range (325 -> 360)
Note: this should keep standing on place enemy out of circle more likely and push away earlier

+6 all attributes, +200 HP, +200 MP, +20% Magic Resistance, +20% Heal Amplification (for self)

Chat message duration 8 sec (old 10)

And I strongly recommend to set Widescreen=true for widescreen users, as well as shopsQWERTY=true

Standart color for own units — green, slightly darker for units than for hero.
Standart color for allies changed from green to yellow

ru4 and ru5 were the same, so ru4 takes previous ru3 mode

Day length increased from 8 minutes to 10
Mode AP picktime 2 minutes -> 3 minutes, whoever playing it
Gold and experience for herokills does no longer multiplies by streak ending. So streaks has only informative purpose.
Thus streak ending is again allowed at dying to Sentinel or Scourge as well as First Blood.
Bonus 50 Experience for First Blood removed, bonus gold for First Blood 150 -> 200
Gold and Experience for herokills:
Old:
Multiplier = squareroot(lvl) [varies from 1 to 5 between lvls 1 and 25]
Bonus per streaks (BPS) = 1.00/1.00/1.00/1.075/1.15/.../1.60, depends on killing streak 0/1/2/3/.../10 or more
Gold = (100 + squareroot(networth)) * multiplier * BPS
Exp = 200 * multiplier * BPS
New:
Multiplier = squareroot(lvl*2 - 1) [varies from 1 to 7 between lvls 1 and 25]
Gold = 20 + (80 + squareroot(networth)) * multiplier
Exp = 200 * multiplier
Starting gold decreased from 625 (most modes) / 875 (ar/dm) to 600 / 850
This also affects games with lower amount of playes, where they will still have only 600 starting gold
Single Player / Test mode will always have bunch of gold at start
Repick now takes costs only 100 gold total on all mods where it's allowed
Item recipes does no longer counts toward player networth
Buying Faerie Fire, Mango and Bottle from enemy shops is now restricted.
Siege creeps no longer spawns 2 at once at any game stage. Instead they grows faster over time, and Super Ballists/Catapults slightly buffed at damage.
Now only melee heroes instead of any melee unit getting bonus attack range against wards, but it's gained on autoattacks as well and not bugs when autoattack continues against other targets without ordering.
Mechanics updates
Strength and Intelligence Attribute changers are divided on "positive" and "negative" effects, which are not mentioned on tooltips (at least yet), but logically understandable, which are which:
"Positive" will give raw hp or mp bonus (str/int) when attribute grows and retain current percentage when stat falls
E.g. Decay or Glaives of Wisdom effect for caster
Negative does vise versa
Drains raw hp or mp amounts when attribute is lost and retains current percentage when it grows
E.g. Decay or Glaives of Wisdom effect for victim
Recoded Cyclones (Eul's active, Invoker's tornado, Primal Split Storm Cyclone), so they no longer pauses unit (important for proper polymorphs duration) and not uses unit size in count to tornado size and no longer breaks attached to unit effects.
They also doing damage in proper time — before removing stun from unit.
And dispell applies properly from now on: allied-caused cyclones counts as buffs and enemy-caused cyclones count as debuffs
Tornado and Primal Cyclone can now be Resisted, however Eul's could not.
Recoded all Auras.
They are working from invisibility now. All negative auras does not work against magic immune enemies.
This also means that non-item auras will be affected by Break much more effectively
Devoured auras are now properly prevented from working by Break effect
Most auras buff/debuff duration (including Smoke Screen, Crippling Fear and Ice Vortex) is now up to 0.25 sec or less instead of much longer, AoE 900 -> 1200
Feral Impulse AoE 1200 -> all map
Global auras (Feral Impulse, Brilliance Aura) no longer work on illusions
Recoded special attack effects from Wind Walks (Vendetta, Silver, WW, Meld) will not cause bugs with fast attacks anymore at all
These effects like Break or minus armor are applied right before dealing damage
Geminate Attack, Moment of Courage instant attacks does no longer cancel Wind Walks and Smoke anymore.
So they does not proc any effects which used to work when attacking from Wind Walks.
Stifling Dagger and Omnislash still does, however.
Wind Walks now provides bonus damage against allies (e.g. on denying) as well
Mode -ss now displays enemy skills only during game, but not at pick stage
According Meeps 's request
Improved damage manipulation mechanics, no longer allows to pierce unit abilities if taken damage is above than unit's effective hp before some reductions
E.g. Illuminate vs ranged creeps under Pipe buff
This also means that hpbar wont twitch when different damage resistances worked
And that all effects finally will work properly with reflected damage
Things which nullifies taken damage does no longer triggers spell shields and raindrops
Rearranged damage resistance order to be more effective and logical
Note:
All damage increasing bonuses, like Veil, Wild Axes, Bloodrage, Enrage stacks linearly with each other
All damage resisting bonuses stacks multiplicatively
Miss chance now rolls random number only once per attack (unsure if this will fix higher misses from lowground than intended but on tests seems worked)
Miss chance now calculates at hit moment instead of attack launch moment. This allows to implement many features, including chance-based true strikes with additional effects (read item changes)
Also missed attack now provides different text for allies and enemies (red "miss" if attacker is ally and white "evade" if attacker is enemy)
Are now calculated at the moment of contact
Affects bonus damage from Frost Arrows and Searing Arrows
Numbers displayed above victim instead of attacker
Slardar Bash and Accurate Shot damage is now added to attack damage.
Time Lock and Greater Bash damage is now added to attack magical damage, which pierces magic immunity.
Recoded Manabreaks effect. It's still added to attack damage at one instance but will not have inconsistent damage and / or burn numbers at low amount of mana on target, especially with ranged attacks.
Manabreaks now adds exactly 60% of burned mana to damage instead of having different numbers for different abilities.
Lifesteals does no longer stack from same items (e.g. 2 or more Satanics, 2 or more Mask of Death, etc)
Completely recoded cleaves
They are no longer bugged when attacker turns before hit
Now they doing damage after lifestealing from main target instead of before
Damage area changed to 100 distance around attacker and in expanding from attacker to target trapeze with rounded far side and with much less angle than before, where it was cone with full 180 degrees
Damage from every cleave is now dealt in single damage instance instead of being separated for each, what can be improtant in some cases (e.g. for better piercing Borrowed Time or worse piercing Refraction)
Tidebringer no longer affects couriers
Tidebringer Hotkey D -> R
Tidebringer cleave distance 650/800/950/1100, percentage 135% -> 150%
Sven's Great Cleave distance 700
Empower and Battle Fury distance 650 -> 700
Removed "Divine" damage type as term, replaced by "pure, piercing magic immunity"
Some skills are updated to deal different types of damage "together with attack at same instance", more info in Items changes
Some of them pierces magic immunity
Hp Removal damage is now completely separated of common damage (technically does not "damaging" at all)
So it's no longer increased by illusion taking damage modifier and not prevents units, especially neutrals, from action (e.g. affected by Heartstopper Aura or poisons)
It's still does not pierce Glyph but pierces other damage manipulations, including Borrowed Time
It's still recorded into damage counter in statistic
It's still can be amplified by Spell Amplification and reduced by Magic Resistance (if damage type is magical), as well as blocked by Spell Shields and Raindrop
Typos of skills which deals Hp Removal damage are matched to same style
Updated interaction of many buff/debuff abilities with hiding abilities in addition to "classical", which were Shadow Demon's Disruption and Obsidian Destroyer's Astral Imprisonment
So these abilities can affect enemy of he was hidden by *his enemy" or ally of he was hidden by *his ally*, e.g. Poison Nova wont affect an enemy unit if he was hidden by himself or his ally, byt will if ally of nova caster will hide an enemy.
All updated hides allies only, however: Mirror Images, Doppelganger, Phase Shift, Tricks of the Trade, Snowball
Next updated skills now follows explained logic: Mekansm & Crimson Guard & Greaves & Pipe & Smoke of Deceit & Dust, Starfall, Weave, Hand of God, Guardian Angel, Global Silence, Vacuum, Nether Swap, Wolven Howl, Marksmanship, Dark Rift, Poison Nova, Ice Blast, Death Pulse, Scream of Pain, Flux, Shallow Grave
Tooltip specials:
1) "This ability affects hidden enemies if they were hidden by your your allies"
2) "This ability does not affect hidden by your enemies units"
Sleight of Fist and Omnislash still ignores any hidden unit, independently of who hide him, as well and Doppelganger and Reality Rift cant pull hidden illusions.
Illusions no longer trying to attack things they cannot damage like normal creeps already could not (Supernova, Will-o-Wisp, Homing Missile)
Also illusions now counts like creeps for all units with Hit-count armor type
Illusions damage against structures 40% -> 50%, against Roshan 20% -> 25%
Doppelganger, Mirror Images, Disruption now reveals real hero after illusions instead of before, thus not real hero will be autoattacked
In Doppelganger "Defender" illusion takes priority for autoattacks
For Mirror Images random illusion becomes targeted
For Disruption effect depends on being ally or enemy of caster: enemy target will be revealed first, so it can be intantly ordered to attack for created illusions, allied — last, so illusion will be autofocused
Reality Rift now teleports main caster after illusions for same reasons
Ghost Forms (Ghost Scepter, Ethereal Blade, Decrepify) reworked:
Instead if disallowing attacks on unit at all they grants 100% resistance to physical damage like Guardian angel or Cold Embrace, still applies disarm
This way additional effects like Cleave, Splash, Javelin, Maelstrom, Mkb, Bashes and others keep working
Bonus magical damage taken 40% -> 33.3% from items, 30/40/50/60% for enemy or 25% for ally from Decrepify
Ghost Scepter duration 3.5 -> 4.0
Decrepify cannot now be used at any ward, this should make skill targeting easier, evading missclicks, by cost of non-protecting netherward/healward/tombstone/etc
Improved illusion current attributes (str, agi, int) amount detection, which is used in some things like:
Centaur's Retaliate, FireShow (when hitting enemy), Berserker's Blood, also allows to Sanity's Eclipse to hit illusions
Updated every reflectable ability which did not have following stuff yet: they use straight reflection instead of dummy casting, so none of effects will fail due to range or be delayed, as it happened before sometimes.
Some more abilities will now provide their visual effects when cast is blocked
Improved handling of Earthshock/Leap/Pounce/ForceStaff in cases when last move order was ordered too close to landing point, and so hero turns around after landing
However this has one small problem: if unit was ordered to attack through RMB in range less than jump distance, he will stop attacking once.
All units which takes very limited amount of damage now has armor names "Hit-counter" (e.g. Sentry Ward, Supernova) and will take proper damage even if attacker has 0 attack damage
Other skills changes
Grow! is temporary removed until rework
Mortal Wounds now counts damage from the original damage instead of after reductions, thus it's efficiency is not multiplied twice by an armor and/or resistances
But thus this damage is no longer amplified by spell damage amplification
On question, become it stronger or weaker, answer is: if enemy resistance against taken damage type is above 0, Wounds become stronger, otherwise — weaker.
Mana Shield
Now blocks damage after most of damage resistances, makes it way more effective in cases of having positive armor / magic resistance
Damage block per mana point 1.6(1.4)...2.5(2.0) -> 0.7...1.3, maximum amount of blocked damage 50% -> 40...55%
Life Drain and Mana Drain does no longer stop if target turns invulnerable, but does not provide any effect aside of visual while it stays invulnerable (with exception that Life Drain requires caster being vulnerable in case of healing ally, which may stay invulnerable)
And they may begin cast on invulnerable targets as well
Visual effect has dimmed colors in this case
Life Drain now deals it's effect in 2.5 times more often, retains same dps
Fiend's Grip now deals it's effect in 5 times more often, retains same dps
Fiend's Grip no longer can be dispelled, so the only ways to stop it are death or interrupt caster.
Mana Drain reworked
Energy Drain
10 Manacost -> 50 + 5% of current hp Healthcost (can left minimum 1 hp on caster, but never kills him)
Mana drain per second 30/60/90/120 -> 60/80/100/120
Cooldown 16/12/8/4 -> 28/22/16/10
Now also drain's target spell amplification, but only if it's hero
SAmp drain 3/4/5/6% per second (0.3/0.4/0.5/0.6% per 0.1 seconds actually)
Bonus and drained SAmp retains for 10 seconds after end of Drain (affected by enemy's Status Resistance for both bonus and lost duration).
Stackable with itself but not refreshes previous bonus duration.
Cast Range stays 850, link break range stays 1200, still ends if target is invisible for caster.

Damage 90/180/270/360 -> 120/200/280/360
Cooldown 14/13/12/11 -> 20/17/14/11
No longer restores mana after hooking rune
Now puts victim slightly more in front of caster at end of duration rather than nearly on caster's head, which caused weird position changes
Lunar Blessing
Bonus damage 14/22/30/38 -> 11/18/25/32
Now gives 8/12/16/20% chance for True Strike
Still works only for heroes
Still provides night vision bonus for carrier and now for his illusions too
True Strike affects illusions
Aura is removable by Break effect on carrier, night vision bonus is not
Night Vision bonus decreased from 256/512/768/1024 to 258/384/512/640
So now hero still need need to get Moonshard also for full night vision
Casting Leap does not interrupt any actions again. Pounce has this feature too now.
Thanks to some other fixes and Burrowstike change that this ^ change become possible without bugging.
Pounce now overrides Flamebreak push and no longer instantly cancelled by Force Staff, but only if it pushes unit enough far to break rope.

Main target damage 150/225/300/375 -> 130/210/290/370
Bounce damage 0/125/175/225 -> 0/190/245/300

If triggered by timeover, silence duration is increased by 2.5 seconds
If triggered by spellcast, Silencer becomes brave, receives bonus spell amplification 9/12/15/18% for 10/12/14/16 sec
This buff is dispellable.
Note: if you're interested, bonus spell amplification is granted before dealing damage, so this small boots affects Last Word impact damage.
Static Field nerfed
Now does not perform at maximum efficiency always.
It requires some "Power" to operate, displayed as cooldown
Consumes 0.25 seconds of cooldown per every affected target
Full recharge takes / cooldown cannot fall below: 6.5/7.0/7.5/8.0 seconds
Means skill will take longer to reach max efficiency at higher levels as well as can last longer but still regains damage faster per limited amount of time
As well refreshing will obviously restore skill completely
Cooldown is affected by CDR, thus will faster recharge will restore Power more effectively, as well as can be refreshed
Maximum damage when fully charged 5/7/9/11% of current hp -> 6.5/9.0/11.5/14% of current hp
Does not provide effect if less than 0.5 of cooldown passed to not make superlow damage ticks
AoE 1176 -> 950
Cooldown reduction works by specific way here: it reduces amount of lost power per cast
E.g. 25% CDR means skill will consume 0.1875 sec of CD per each affected enemy instead of 0.25, but also cooldowns faster, so will have less max charge time. This allows to ONLY affect power regain time but not anything else.
Status resistance now affects Battle Hunger damage reduction debuff modified instead of duration (tickrate)

Steamrollers: Phase Boots + Demon Edge + Recipe for 5250 gold total. +60 movespeed, +55 damage, +5 armor.
Active: Steam Vapor. Provides 20% / 13% movespeed and, unlike Phase Boots, flying movement for 3 seconds. Damages nearby enemies in 275 distance as Pure damage by 6 per 0.2 seconds, resulting 30 per second or 90 per 3 seconds. Damage does not penetrate magic immunity.
Can be used during Wind Walks.
Cooldown 8, shares cooldown with Phase Boots.
Manacost 0.
Jackboots: Power Treads + Force Staff + Recipe for 5250 gold total. +60 movespeed, +10 All Stats, +35 Attack Speed, +5 HP Regen.

Active: Great Sacrifice.
If used on self, provides same effect as Soul Ring, but costs 275 HP and provides 275 MP.
If used on allied hero, protects him from damage by cost of taking damage by self. Protects up to 50% damage, depending on distance between caster or target, so closer means more effective, and falls down to 0 in distance above 1500. Shared damage counts after all possible reductions on ally and cannot be avoided by caster anyhow. Dying to this damage will count kill to attacking enemy.
This buff lasts 10 seconds and can only be dispelled by death of protector or protected unit or by receiving new buff by either protector or protected unit.
Different Visual effects exist on both caster and target, which are visible for everyone, and they are linked by thin link, which is visible only if both units are visible
Visual effects also changes when protected unit takes damage
Protected HP cannot overlap current protector HP, e.g. target takes 1000 dmg after reductions, protection = 25%, so protector should take 250 damage instead of target, but protector has only 100 HP, and then he will consume only 100 dmg and die, while protected unit will take 1000-100=900
Hint: this stuff may be especially useful against any sources of enemy lifesteals or lifedrains, as protected damage is "lost" for attacker, he will heal less as outgoing damage is reduced.
Can be used during Wind Walks.
Can be casted on invulnerable units.
Cast range 1000
Cooldown 25, shares cooldown with Soul Ring.
Manacost 0, health cost is also 0 if used on ally

Manabreaking effects now multiplies burned amount of mana in dependence of illusion damage dealt multiplier instead of having fixed amount (50% Mana Break, 16/8 Diffusal Blade), similar to other non-poison effects on illusions. Bonus damage from breaken mana adds proper percentage to attack, e.g. for 30% dmg illusion with diffusal, bonus damage will be 40 * 0.3 * 0.8 (diffusal burn-in-damage mult) = 9.6 and not multiplied again on 0.3
Overall Diffusal Blade should become better pickup for illusionists than now, except for Phantom Lancer, which manaburn become weaker. Also it loses exception for ranged illusions as they already deals less damage than melee
Matched Naga and Terrorblade illusions damage percentage to strict 67% for ranged heroes.
As manapools increased, amount of some manaburns are slightly increased as well
AM manabreak 30/34/38/42 + 0/1/2/3% -> 25/30/35/40 + 1/2/3/4%

Homing Missile can now be casted toward invulnerable units
Aphotic Shield and Press the Attack can now be casted toward invulnerable units to e.g. dispel enemy's Eul

Flux reworked
Basically it got reverted condition to work
Lays debuff onto enemy unit, which deals different effect in cases:
Checks victim every 0.2 seconds
If victim is alone (no allied units in 800 range around), it's silenced and takes basic damage
If victim is not alone, it's not silenced but damage increases per every nearby ally, depends on distance to him:
Full bonus in 200 range, then linearly falls does at range between 200 and 800
Bonus is up to 50% for every nearby hero or ancient and up to 25% for creeps and illusions
Basic damage is 4/5/6/7 per 0.2 seconds, up to 68/115/174/245 total but can grow significantly if target is surrounded by allies or simply act as silence if needed.

Elune's Arrow now checks for closest unit around itself if has multiple possible targets
Elune's Arrow collision 96 -> 100 (+5%)

Chaos Strike now overlaps other critical strikes from skills and items
Chaos Strike crit and lifesteal numbers rescaled so highest critical numbers provides really low lifesteal bonus
Critical damage changed from 1.25 minimum and 1.65/1.85/2.05/2.25 maximum to 1.2 minimum and 1.5/1.8/2.1/2.4 maximum
Lifesteal changed from 10-16/20-29/30-42/40-55% to 10% minimum and 25/40/55/70% maximum
This way minimum 1.2 damage multiplier roll will provide lifesteal as 30/48/66/84% of normal attack damage (before calculating enemy armor), while maximum will heal by only 15/18/21/24% of normal attack damage
Overall here is slight decrement in damage and slight increment in lifesteal at low levels, slight increment in damage and slight decrement in lifesteal at high levels
