- Fixed Pudge losing flesh heap stacks when upgrading the skill while dead;
- Fixed Sniper gaining the wrong range when upgrading Take Aim with a nonstandard gun equipped;


- Mirana's Arrow visuals improved: the arrow is now brighter and clearer. It is smaller when cast, and grows bigger as it travels, becoming easier to spot at super long distances. Renamed to Shooting Star (seriously, what kind of name is "moonfire beam"?).
- Shooting Star cannot hit enemies inside their fountain area.

- IMBA-fied heroes will now have a (IMBA) tag after their name, instead of before. This makes it much easier to search for your hero by name.


Sniper

- Shrapnel: has global cast range.
- Take Aim: Sniper can activate take aim to change his currently equipped gun. Switching guns has a cooldown, but costs no mana. The possible guns are:

• Submachine Gun: decreases Sniper's range to 300 (almost melee) and reduces damage, but grants slightly increased move speed and dramatically improved BAT.
  
• Sniper Rifle (default gun): works as in regular dota, increasing Sniper's range with no side effects.
  
• Anti-materiel Rifle: roots sniper in place and increases his BAT, but grants increased damage and incredibly long attack range.

- Headshot: headshot's effects change based on which gun Sniper has equipped. With the SMG, headshot procs deal no damage, but ministun targets. With his sniper rifle, procs deal bonus damage, and briefly slow targets. With the anti-materiel rifle, headshot procs launch a grenade, which deals damage and shreds armor in a small radius.
- Assassinate: deals physical damage to all targets hit by the bullet, as well as those behind the main target. Assassinate can always be cast on targets under Shrapnel, independent of their distance from Sniper.
- Aghanim's Scepter: improves Assassinate's shot to a flashbang, increasing damage and adding knockback and a blind effect (70% miss chance) for a short duration.

Pudge

- Meat Hook: now has two subskills, "Power Hook" and "Swift Hook". Each time Pudge gains a level, he gains one stack of both Power Hook and Swift Hook. Power Hook stacks increase Meat Hook's damage, and Swift Hook stacks increase its speed and maximum range.
- Power Hook: activating this skill consumes Swift Hook stacks and turns them into Power Hook stacks.
- Swift Hook: activating this skill consumes Power Hook stacks and turns them into Swift Hook stacks.
- Rot: area of effect and damage increase each time Pudge gains a stack of Flesh Heap.
- Flesh Heap: magic resistance bonus increases with each stack.
- Dismember: deals bonus damage equal to Pudge's strength, and absorbs all damage dealt as HP.
- Aghanim's Scepter: adds a rupture-like effect to Meat Hook, damaging targets as they are pulled to Pudge.


- Removed Tinker temporarily due to the Rollermawster immortal causing massive lag issues. Will be re-added when this is fixed.
- Removed Wisp temporarily due to an exploit involving tethering one Wisp to another. Will be re-added when we remove samehero mode.
- Removed Doombringer due to relying too much on his ultimate and being overall one-dimensional and uncounterable. Doom would always be completely irrelevant before buying Scepter, and become unstopabble after getting Refresher.
- Removed Wraith King due to bugs involving his ultimate.
- Added lazy Earthshaker, with huge fissure/echo slam radius and maximum damage enchant totem from level 1.
- Added lazy Nature's Prophet. All his skills are global.
- Added lazy Templar Assassin, with increased damage output and a very strong Refraction.

updated the main splash screen

* Fixed illusions being able to generate more yasha-based illusions;
* Fixed some items stacking stats on their owner when being dropped/picked from the ground.

As an unintended consequence of this last fix, most duplicated items won't provide duplicated stats anymore - i.e. if you are using two yashas, or two moon shards, you will only gain the benefits from one of them.

This does NOT prevent simple items from granting duplicated stats, so stacking gg branches, bracers, claymores, et cetera will still work normally.
