v6.88d0

Main gameplay changes

Hero kills

Completely reworked gold and experience bounty per hero kills
Removed additional comeback bonuses for loser team
Kill Streak gold bonus changed from linear to additional 0.05 multipler per every kill over 2, thus Killing Spree grants 5% bonus (1.05 multiplier), Dominating 10%, etc, up to 40% at Holy Shit and above.
And this multiplier affects granted experience per kill as well.
First Blood bonus gold is now displayed together with main gold bonus, First Blood now also grants 100 bonus experience, shared between killer and his nearby allies.
This bonus is constant and independent from anything.
Gold per herokill now counts victim networth in addition to herolevel
Now it is (120 + SquareRoot(Networth) * SquareRoot(Level) * streak multiplier) + FB bonus
So victim networth is also count toward bonus
Thus level 1 hero without streaks and items will spread 120 gold, level 2 ~169 gold, level 25 — 600 gold, etc
And e.g. 25 lvl hero with 30k networth and Holy Shit streak will provide (120+sqrt(30000))*sqrt(25)*1.4=(120+173)*5*1.4=2051 gold
Gold per kill is divided between nearby heroes, and actual killer getting exactly in 2 times more than all others
e.g. splitted 400 gold on 3 heroes will be 200 + 100 + 100
If killer is dead, he takes normal gold bonus instead of doubled (for 400/3 it would be 133+133+133)
Dying to creeps (Sentinel or Scourge) shares same gold amount to every nearby hero if it exist, if does not – shares equal amount of gold to every enemy player
Kill Streaks does not end in case of dying to creeps as well as does not provide any bonus, even if kill was assisted

First Blood now grants 100 bonus experience
Experience per herokill depends only on hero level instead of his current experience
It is now (200*SquareRoot(Level) * streak multiplier) + FB bonus
So level 1 hero worth 200 experience, level 25 worth 1000 experience, etc.
It shares same amount of exp to killer and assisters, but not to heroes at maximum level anymore
Experience is shared only between alive heroes

— Teleports

Removed Teleport Scroll
So teleportation is now limited only by cooldown and manacost
However ability still displays charges, which is innate limitation :/

— Couriers

Allied couriers are no longer valid targets for any shops, can pickup items manually only. Your own courier is still prioritized.

— Lane Creeps

Siege creeps now spawns every 10th wave instead of every 7th, exactly every 5 minutes
Additional melee creep now spawns at minutes 15, 30 and 45
Additional ranged creep now spawns from minute 40
Additional siege creep now spawns from minute 35

— Neutrals

Decreased returning to camp time from 3 to 1 second

Improved Courier reaction on Aegis respawn
If hero respawns far away, courier will still follow hero
If hero is already enough close, courier will wait until respawn and then deliver items.
In this case Courier will use Burst after hero respawn automatically if possible

Terrain
Removed unnecessary shadows
Fixed some impassable roads
Fixed more unnecessary holes in between trees and rocks where units can stuck
Terrain improved even more
Mid-lane has been balanced and fixed some unnecessary holes in between trees where units can stuck
Bot-lane Scourge T1 slightly moved on South
Fixed roshan place where units can get vision from outside.
