- This results in all +2 All Attributes bonuses skilled by level 22

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- Oracle's Fortune's End cannot target Cycloned units, but will dispel Cyclone off the units in AoE around the target
