Another small patch hit. Mostly QoL buffs all around, with a few exceptions, and nothing is groundbreaking or functionality-changing enough to go over everything in detail. Going over a quick skim:

Roshan will now slap wards if no heroes are in range (no free damage from Shadow Shaman or Wraith Pact, no free second healthbar for Juggernaut. Witch Doctor's don't count as they are untargetable.)

Items
Null Talisman changed from manacost reduction to max mana increase, and provides slightly more mana regen (please stop breaking things, Storm Spirit)
Bracer heal regen down slightly.
BKB has a 15 second longer cooldown. Linken's has a 2 second longer cooldown. Dazzle laughs at both of these anyways.
Satanic's active lifesteal reduced by 25%.
Revenant's Brooch no longer wastes attacks if it tries to hit magic immunity, and can be recast to put it on cooldown and cancel the effect.
Wraith Pact is worth more to kill, and easier to kill, but as a tradeoff it automatically follows its caster, like Healing Ward.
Healing Salves heal less if used on anyone but yourself. Kinda saw this one coming, given how early lane sustain has been slapped throughout history.

-Chaos Knight got a deserved nerf to both his lane sustain from Chaos Strike lifesteal (lower at all levels) and levels 1-3 of Chaos Bolt damage. Was getting really damn sick of him being one of three carries of choice.
-Clockwerk joins the "double damage to creeps" club with Battery Assault.
-Dark Willow gets an early game Shadow Realm buff with a much lower early cooldown.
-Disruptor gets a hefty Static Storm buff, even if it's only for an extra second (it's still an extra 200-350 damage on level for anyone inside, plus silencing.)
-Elder Titan gets 50% more speed from hitting creeps with Astral Spirit when it returns. Earth Splitter also has a lower cooldown at levels 1/2.
-Huskar's Inner Fire is a bit less bullcrap at level 4 and a bit more bullcrap at level 1.
-KotL's Illuminate deals less damage at levels 1-3.
-Lifestealer gains a 0.2% buff to Feast on-hit damage.
-Lion's Earth Spike travels faster and his hex is on lower cooldown at levels 1-3.
-Lycan deals 10-20% more critical damage in Shapeshift (and so does his ally in Wolf Bite, presumably.)
-Magnus had a gigantic buff to scepter slow/armor shred/damage from 50% to 75% on the explosion. Skewer also slows 10% more.
-Night Stalker had a Void manacost increase (he was another meta slave hero this past patch)
-Omniknight got buffed again, somehow, with Hammer of Purity going up to 100% base damage at level 4 and his level 20 talent reducing its cooldown a further 2 seconds.
-PL had a significant Juxtapose talent damage buff from 5 to 8% at level 20, probably to offset Diffusal losing some power last patch.
-Slark has slightly higher base damage, but Essence Thief doesn't steal for as long at all levels.
-Sven got a 10 base attack speed buff.
-Techies got 3x small buffs: less bounty on Proxy mines, more magic resistance stripping on explosion for Proxy mines, and slightly more slow duration from Sticky Bomb.
-Terrorblade's Metamorphosis deals more damage at level 1-3, now (doubling what it used to be at level 1, fitting for a 2 minute cooldown.) Still deals the same damage at max Metamorphosis, but it's there.
-Tinker buffs to Defense Matrix cast range and warp flare manacost reduction, patch is a loss.
-Tusk's Snowball moves slightly faster and Tag Team slows for slightly longer.
-Visage deals 5 less damage per stack of Soul Assumption.
-Warlock movespeed buff to baseline 300 (woop woop.) Chaotic Offering cast range lowered by 200 (boo.) Level 1 Upheaval is no longer a joke pick (max slow hits 55% at level 1)
-Witch Doctor has even LOWER cooldown on Death Ward again (60 seconds; if it's ever not up for a fight you've screwed something horribly.) Maledict Burst talent improved further (though by that point people usually have a BKB.)

I SHOULD have Tidehunter's thing up tomorrow, if my sleep permits it.
