Key themes include reduced mana regeneration amplification on Kaya-line items, nerfs to ranged Mask of Madness and several high-damage heroes, and a wave of small buffs to underused heroes and items. The patch also standardizes mechanics such as root interrupting Twin Gates and Underlord's Fiend's Gate, and removes vision penalties from several illusion sources.","changes":[{"type":"system","subject":"Twin Gates","detail":"Channeling the Twin Gate can now be interrupted by root"},{"type":"system","subject":"Tormentor","detail":"Now disjoints projectiles when moving between chasms"},{"type":"item","subject":"Abyssal Blade","detail":"Strength bonus increased from +26 to +30"},{"type":"item","subject":"Butterfly","detail":"Agility bonus decreased from +35 to +30; Damage bonus increased from +25 to +30"},{"type":"item","subject":"Chasm Stone","detail":"Cost increased from 800 to 900"},{"type":"item","subject":"Shiva's Guard","detail":"Recipe cost decreased from 1350 to 1250.
