Spiked Carapace
===============
When activated, Spiked Carapace reflects and negates damage dealt to Nerubian Assassin (max once from each source), as well as stunning the source of the damage.
Dark Rift now has a subability that allows the effect to be canceled before it resolves. This does not prevent the cooldown from being used, it only makes it so you no longer have to teleport everyone away
Dark Rift now makes its teleportation target a low priority target similar to how Boots of Travel works
Replaced Expulsion with a new ability

Requiem of Souls has a new passive component that triggers upon death
Upon dying half of Shadow Fiend's souls (the amount lost on death) will be released as if you had cast Requiem of Souls with those souls. This cast doesn't put the spell on cooldown and will trigger if it is on cooldown. It is now a passive component of the ability.
Reflection:
============
Slows the target unit's movement and attack speed and creates a phantom illusion (untargetable, invulnerable) of that target attacking it for the duration.
Conjure Image
===============
Creates an image of Terrorblade under his control. The illusion deals a percentage of his damage and takes amplified damage from all sources.
Living Armor aura replaced with a new active ability
Living Armor:
==============
Target an allied unit or structure. Grants bonus regeneration and physical damage block. Dispels when more than 6 damage instances are taken.
Provides:
+30 Attack Speed
Active, Fade: Upon activation, fades your hero out over 2.75 seconds. If you move, you will lose your invisibility. No cooldown.
Note 1: Used in the new Lothar's Edge recipe.
Note 2: Similar to how Lothar's Edge works, you can use this invisibility in combination with channeling spells.
I was thinking the same. It's insane. I'm hoping it was a typo. KotL buffs in the same patch, too. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a certain famous lane again.
I love the patch notes though. IceFrog knows how to balance. Some really good/interesting changes here.
