Any gold you gain is added to both heroes. Any gold you lose on current hero is lost on the other hero as well.

Each hero has their own independent item inventories. Each time you swap heroes, the XP gain is synchronized.

You have to be in the fountain to swap heroes (use -tt)

- Removed some residual caster unit vision from various misc abilities
There are various abilities that use caster units in a way that unintentionally provides extra unobstructed vision. These are the abilities that have been fixed:

Unstable Concoction: 400 flying aoe on projectile and 3.34 sec at impact
Ice Shards: 800 flying on projectile (reduced to 300) and 3.34 sec after expiration (removed)
Chakram: 800 flying on projectile (reduced to 300) and 3.34 sec after expiration (removed)
Phantasm: 1000 flying (reduced to 400) for 1.13 seconds
Pit of Malice: 800 flying for 7 seconds
Waveform: 1000 flying during travel (still has basic vision)
Storm Bolt: 800 flying on projectile (reduced to 225) and 3.34 sec at impact (removed)
Mirror Image: 1000 flying (reduced to 400) for 0.73
Spirit Lance: 800 flying on projectile and 3.34 sec at impact
Requiem of Souls: 1000 ground at each affected target location for 5 seconds
Spectral Dagger: 500 flying (reduced to 200)
Sunder: 1800 flying at both source and target for 3.2 sec
Venomous Gale: 800 flying (reduced to 400)

Deafening Blast: 1200/800 flying on projectile and 1.75 sec at impact
Ghost Ship: 800 flying on projectile (reduced to 400) and 3.34 sec after expiration (removed)

These changes are not done with the direct intention of nerfing or buffing specific heroes. The goal here is to reduce the number of spells that provide excessive vision gamewide (with arbitrary durations in many cases) that were either unintended or not a necessity in the ability's functionality. By fixing or reducing the excess flying vision some of these spell caster units provide, the viability of juking as a mechanic in the game is improved a bit more. That being said, if you feel like specific abilities have strong/valuable gameplay that has grown around them over time and are worth reconsidering, please send your feedback. If there are other abilities you think should have reduced vision, please send that feedback as well.

I was most impressed with the changes to and . Fixed a large majority of the issues with each of them.

~~I guess since my Editor powers are still in effect, I will go ahead and update some to most of these changes, being the nice guy that I am.~~ Nevermind, should proly wait until they are matched up with DOTA2.

His Strength gain went up by 1.2 per level. So at level 25 he only has 15 less strength than he did with this old ultimate.

I do mean it at early levels when that Nuke does some fearfull damage.I don't care about later levels when you can even spam in on creeps.Still the change is evil.
