v6.86g5

General

• After buyback hero getting buff-indicator again (was removed in g4). It will stay until next death. Tip on buff says about penalty on respawn.
• Ban stage removed from ARDM mode
• Fixed mistake in groups which causes random errors (main reason why 86g4 was reverted)

• Forced movements/high speed:
  • Improved interaction of some Forced Movements (Force Staff, etc.) with close units and obstacles
  • Fixed interaction of Fire Remnant movement and other Forced Movements
  • Non-disabling forced movements now prevent movement. Especially important for Flamebreak, Gust, Tether and Blinding Light
  • This also means that units will not act strangely after being forcestaffed, after leap, etc.
  • Units with non-standard high speeds should not run weirdly as well anymore: e.g. shapeshift, chronosphere, thirst, shadow dance aghanim
• Fixed interactions of invises and instant attacks:
  • instant attack cannot trigger bonus dmg from invis on each attack without cancelling invis
  • instant attack stops invis like a normal attack
• Fixed Black Dragon aura
• Improved interaction of Skewer, Meat Hook, Reaper's Scythe and dead heroes: If unit dies during one of these skills, it will stop on place of death (Important for Aegis respawn)
• Reaper's Scythe visual and hidden effects now trigger instantly on death instead of waiting for death timer (may otherwise cause issues if too-fast buyback)
• Improved forced attack conditions
• Fixed (again) abuse of Leap charges
• Fixed (?) possible bug with night vision from Lunar Blessing
• Fixed Winter's Curse malfunction
• Macropyre gets increased damage from multicast instead of spawning multiple Macropyres. This should improve FPS (Note: total damage instances amount will be same as without multicast)
• Fixed Diabolic Edict targets
• Fixed Soul Rip malfunction when there are too many units around
• Custom (not stable) movespeed bonuses over 522 properly grants bonuses, based on movespeed
• Improved interaction of multiple active Chronospheres of same player
• Fixed last reason of Hookshot visual staying forever
• Hero no longer gets stuck on cliff after using Furion Teleportation
• Improved interaction of some spells with Linken/Lotus: There are no more skills which are blocked/reflected on cast while should actually be on spell-impact
• Cold arrows and Flaming arrows autocast toggling no longer counted as interrupting spell for some abils e.g. Charge of Darkness.
• Tombstone no longer appears on unpathable terrain
• Fixed interaction of multiple Heavenly Graces on single target
• Some spells based on Chain Lightning (culling blade, arcane bolt, homing missile, aphotic shield, astral imprisonment) are now based on other spell: no longer locked for a short time after using it (also affects other instant spells)
• Shadowraze (Close) no longer falsely has additional 0.2 cast time
• Fixed interaction of Blade Fury and timed polymorphs
• Fixed bug caused by 2 existing polymorphs and reincarnating (Aegis) (Thanks chaeyoung<3 for reporting this rare problem!)
• Linkens Sphere refreshing (Refreshes Orb, test -refresh cmd) working properly now
• Mjollnir Static Charge lightnings no longer jumps on invisible for caster units.
• Fixed Nether Swap Upgraded charges amount displaying
• Ancient Black Dragon model size decreased a bit
• Fixed Macropyre Cast Range
• Fixed Leap leveling up (charged were restored on next charge tick and cooldown non-updated if charges are full already)
