General Changes

Talents no longer require a skill point to level

Now talents are learned by using their own talent points available at levels 10, 15, 20, 25, 27, 28, 29, and 30
This results in all +2 All Attributes bonuses skilled by level 22

All Facets that used to have 6 All Attributes bonuses now have 7 bonuses again (Batrider's Arsonist, Magnus' Diminishing Return, Meepo's More Meepo, Monkey King's Simian Stride, Night Stalker's Voidbringer, and Silencer's Synaptic Split)
Tier 4 Towers now have a Barracks Reinforcement buff. Each allied barracks that has not been destroyed provides +4 armor to both Tier 4 towers

Bonus is for each individual building, totaling in +24 Armor for 6 Barracks

Assist Gold Formula Reworked

OLD: 60 + ( ( VictimNetworth * 0.037 ) / NumHeroes )
NEW: 15 + ( ( 50 + ( VictimNetworth * 0.037 ) ) / NumHeroes )

Melee Creep: Gold Bounty now increases by 1 per lane creep upgrade interval (every 7:30)
Flagbearer Creep: Gold Bounty now increases by 1 per lane creep upgrade interval
Flagbearer Creep: AoE Bounty Radius increased from 1200 to 1500
Flagbearer Creep: When killed by a player controlled unit, the Flagbearer Creep always grants Bonus Bounty to the killer's hero regardless of the hero's proximity to the Flagbearer Creep
Flagbearer Creep: Bonus Gold from killing Flagbearers is now classified as creep gold instead of ability gold (Has no gameplay effect, but makes a post game gold breakdown more accurate)
Flagbearer Creep: Inspiration Aura no longer affects heroes
Flagbearer Creep: Inspiration Aura now also provides a magic resistance bonus to affected creeps starting with 0% and improving by 4% with every lane creep upgrade interval, up to a maximum of 15 upgrades
Courier respawn time decreased from (60s + 6s per Hero Level) to (45s + 5s per Hero Level)
Courier no longer has a 15% movement speed penalty while carrying a Clarity, Enchanted Mango, Faerie Fire, Healing Salve, or Tango
Flying Courier will now go to a more obscure shopping area within range of the Secret Shop when using Go To Secret Shop
All illusions now have 800 daytime vision and 400 nighttime vision

Map Objectives

Roshan
Roshan is no longer considered a hero for Lifesteal mechanics. As a result, Physical Lifesteal from damage to Roshan is reduced by 40%, and Spell Lifesteal from damage to Roshan is reduced by 80%
Roar of Retribution: Disarm debuff is no longer dispellable
Slam: No longer has double duration against creeps
Slam: Now deals double damage to creeps
Tormentor
Added a Tormentor Timer near the minimap. Functions similarly to the Roshan Timer. Can be pinged to communicate the current state of Tormentor
Pinging Tormentor's location in world will trigger the same ping as the timer (same behavior the Roshan Timer has)
The minimap now only has one Tormentor icon and reflects where Tormentor is or will spawn
The Shining: Now only starts dealing damage to the surrounding enemies when attacked/damaged
Runes
Bounty Rune: Now grants gold based on when it was created, not when it was activated
Haste Rune: Duration no longer increases by 3s per rune cycle, and is always 22s now
Invisibility Rune: No longer grants incoming damage reduction

Terrain Changes

Extended the streams into both Radiant and Dire bases and added defender's gate to the outside of the respective safe lanes where the stream flows
Removed some trees inside the base near the new safelane defender's gate positions
The Hard camp nearest to Tier 3 towers where the streams used to start has been demoted to a 'medium' camp
Moved the safelane medium amphibian neutral camp closest to the Tier 2 tower up the stream, slightly closer to the respective bases
Lowered the Wisdom Shrine areas to low ground, compared to the respective offlanes, filled them with water and connected to the water areas by the Tier 1 towers
Moved Wisdom Shrines and Watchers to the low ground and slightly closer to the Tier 1 towers. These Watchers now have vision over the shrines at night
Hard camps nearest to Wisdom Shrines have been moved slightly back towards the bases
Changed the 'bridges' to actual bridges
Slightly expanded the entrance to the bridge by the Lotus pools and adjusted the area within the nearby water areas
The Hard camp in the 'triangle' has been demoted to a 'medium' camp
Twin Gate mana cost decreased from 75 to 30
Twin Gates now refund the mana cost if the teleporting channel was interrupted
Cleared up some areas around the Tormentor locations
The watchers nearest to the mid-lane and near the small water camps south/north of the tier 1 tower have been removed
The watchers in the primary jungles have been repositioned from stairs near the small camp to the cliff above the bounty runes
Added additional blocks preventing flying movement around the edges of the map (e.g. the highground areas behind the Tormentors will no longer be accessible by Batrider during Firefly)
Watcher night vision range decreased from 800 to 450
Watcher capture time decreased from 1.5s to 1s
Defender's Gate vision radius increased from 525 to 700
Defender's Gate will now show their vision radius when holding ALT (similarly to Wards, Watchers, etc.)
Removed a tree between Dire Safelane Tier 1 tower and the small pull camp
Very slightly adjusted the paths and spawn points of the Radiant Offlane lane creeps, and the position of the Radiant Offlane Tier 2 tower. This results in creeps pathing to the right of the tier 2 tower instead of sometimes splitting up to go around it
Radiant Secret Shop trigger area moved slightly towards the radiant Tier 1 tower and more centered around the shopkeeper

Invulnerability Targeting

Invulnerability targeting rules of certain items and abilities have been updated
Most items and abilities that previously could target and/or affect invulnerable units no longer do so
The following spells have been changed:

Items

Nullifier's Nullify can no longer target invulnerable units

Neutral Creeps

Satyr Banisher's Purge can no longer target invulnerable units

Heroes

Dark Seer's Vacuum no longer affects invulnerable units
Naga Siren's Ensnare can no longer target invulnerable units unless this invulnerability is provided by Song of the Siren
Ogre Magi's Bloodlust can no longer target invulnerable units

Can still target invulnerable buildings (i.e. Tier 2-4 towers when the previous ones are not destroyed)

Oracle's Fortune's End can no longer target invulnerable units, but does affect invulnerable units in the radius
Shadow Demon's Demonic Purge can no longer target invulnerable units
Shadow Demon's Demonic Cleanse can no longer target invulnerable units
Sniper's Assassinate can no longer target invulnerable units
Sven's Storm Hammer with Aghanim's Scepter can no longer target invulnerable units, but does affect invulnerable units in the radius
Vengeful Spirit's Nether Swap can no longer target invulnerable units

Since Cyclone effects also make the unit invulnerable, all changes mentioned above apply to them as well. As a result, there are these special cases:

Nullifier's Nullify will dispel Cyclone off the target immediately if Cyclone was cast on a unit already affected by the Nullify debuff
Oracle's Fortune's End cannot target Cycloned units, but will dispel Cyclone off the units in AoE around the target
Sven's Storm Hammer with Aghanim's Scepter cannot target Cycloned units, but will dispel Cyclone off the units in AoE around the target

All three of these will also dispel Cyclone if the spell projectile was launched (or started channeling) before the target got Cycloned
