Pretty sure the dude with the honker and hooded face might be Grand Magus. The skeleton with crown-ish horns is probably King Leoric. Aside from those two I can't be too sure of any of the others. Edit: Oh, except for Bloodseeker obviously. We've already seen him in trailers and promo art though.

Yeah he does look like SK and if the Grand Magus guy is there I wouldn't know, I haven't played DotA since his inclusion.

8 - Bloodseeker (we saw him already though) 2 - Batrider or that Dampeer guy, possibly Ursa 3 - Huskar 13 - Broodmother 16 - Naix 12 - Bounty Hunter 1 - Keeper of the Light 11 - Shadow Demon? 15 is some absurd design that should be obvious but isn't 5 - Templar Assassin?
These are just guesses obviously, aside from BS.

Once a powerful sorcerer, Lion earned fame among his brethren for fighting on the side of light and righteousness. But adulation corrupts. With powers surpassed only by his ambition, the mage was seduced by a demon and turned to evil, trading his soul for prestige. After committing horrible crimes that marred his soul, he was abandoned. The demon betrayed him, striking better deals with his enemies. Such was Lions rage that he followed the demon back to hell and slew it, ripping it limb from limb, taking its demonic hand for his own. However, such daemonoplasty comes at a cost. Lion was transfigured by the process, his appearance mutated, his body transformed until he became something unrecognizable, a creature with no name. He rose from hell rage incarnate, slaying his enemies and laying waste to the lands where he had once been so adored.
In the Fields of Endless Carnage, far to the south of Quoidge, a corpulent figure works tirelessly through the night--dismembering, disembowelling, piling up the limbs and viscera of the Fallen that the battlefield might be clear by dawn. In this cursed realm, nothing can decay or decompose; no corpse may ever return to the earth from which it sprang, no matter how deep you dig the grave. Flocked by carrion birds who need him to cut their meals into beak-sized chunks, the Butcher hones his skills with blades that grow sharper the longer he uses them. Swish, swish, thunk. Flesh falls from the bone; tendons and ligaments part like wet paper. And while he always had a taste for the butchery, over the ages, Pudge has developed a taste for its byproduct as well. Starting with a gobbet of muscle here, a sip of blood there...before long he was thrusting his jaws deep into the toughest of torsos, like a dog gnawing at rags. Even those who are beyond fearing the Reaper, fear the Butcher.

My favorite so far.
Haha, oh geez, I didn't even hear that. Speculation is that "****ty wizard" or some variant being in everyone's dialogue is for when Grand Magus steals their stuff.
There's some hilarious dialog between characters. Lots of stuff between Clockwerk and Pudge ("Hey, Pudge, I'll come to you!" or "I've got one of those too, Pudge!")... the amount of detail is fantastic.
There's multiple quotes for when Warlock gets a freaking Divine Rapier. What the heck.
There are quotes for when Faceless Void screws up an ult.
There are quotes for Slardar with a Cranium Basher ("This seems redundant").
Without the need to do all sorts of balancing and gameplay modifications, they certainly took the time to make sure the game has style. I guess I shouldn't have been concerned with this coming from Valve.

No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.
Yeah, I'm wondering how those cosmetic changes are going to work. I doubt every single item changes your appearance, so maybe they'll be doing it for items key to that hero? Hurm.
