General
- Every other wave now has a "flagbearer" creep that adds +3 health regen in an area around it. Gives double the bounty of killing a melee creep, and does not give the bounty for denies. Can't be denied by hero abilities such as Enigma's Demonic Conversion.
- Dire side ramp goes deeper into the jungle; outpost and bounty rune moved closer to lane, also.
- Outposts take an extra second to teleport to
- Fortify glyph renews on the first "tier" tower falling per team (not just for each tier 1 any longer.)

Changes for those I've gone over so far, ignoring most talent shuffles unless they blatantly change the hero severely:
Alchemist - Now benefits from the bonus damage/spell amp from providing a scepter even if they don't have one. Talent shuffles (including some interesting L15 - health is replaced with Acid Spray buffing ally armor, damage is replaced with Greevil's Greed stacks giving Alchemist +1 damage.)
Arc Warden - Slow from Flux decreased by 6/9/12/15%, but is always applied even when the damage is not.
Beastmaster - Axe cast point improved, boar slow nerfed by 0/2/4/6%, Inner beast nerf by 5% (all levels.) Shard makes Hawks root instead of stun, but can be toggled to autocast to have the bird autodive to the first visible target in range. Cast range for the dive bomb decreased by 300, and cooldown reduction improved by 3 seconds. Scepter now gives new ability "Drums of Slom" - Beastmaster begins beating a drum, damaging for 110 in a 600 radius with each beat and healing allies in the radius for 25% (hero) / 5% (creep) of the damage dealt. Hits won't damage if BM gets stunned or silenced. 6s duration, 50s cooldown, 100 manacost.
Bloodseeker - Bloodrage shard damage/lifesteal reduced by 0.2%. Thirst speed adjusted by +2/0/-2/-4%. Blood Mist (scepter) movespeed slow increased by 5%, and does not damage Bloodseeker through spell immunity.
Broodmother - Base movespeed increase. Shard reworked - Insatiable Hunger duration extended by 2s, bonus damage increases by 12 every second it's active. Spin Web improves turn rate by 0.2, but movespeed lowered by 0/2/4/6%. Silken Bola miss chance improved by 0/5/10/15%. Talent shifts.

Chaos Knight - Talent shifts (L15 Strength replaced with -75% damage to Phantasms, which is kinda nutty.)
Chen - Penitence Attack speed nerfed by 5/10/15/20%. Scepter rework - Persuaded units gain "Martyrdom," which kills the unit to perform a single-target Hand of God on a hero. Global range, 8 second cooldown (shared between all persuaded units.) L25 Talent shift from "Max Units" to the old scepter effect (Hand of God strong-dispels)
Clinkz - Burning Barrage arrows equalized to 6 at all levels, now deal 50/55/60/65% damage and channels for 2 seconds at all levels. Skeleton Walk costs 5 more mana, Death Pact 5% nerf on L15 talent.
Clockwerk - Overclocking reworked to supercharge abilities instead of refreshing them: Battery assault damage/stuns all enemies in the search radius, Power Cogs increase Clock's attack speed by 250% when he's inside, Rocket Flare cooldown decreased to 3s, and shoots two additional flares to each side, Hookshot stun radius and duration increased by 50%. When it expires, Clock is stunned for three seconds. 13s duration, 50s cooldown. L10 Cogs talent change from extra manaburn to -2 seconds cooldown.
