• Abilities that improve with hero level have base value and increment value. Some also have amount of levels required for increment
• Info: Abilities that improve each level provide their increment value at level 1

Added UI icon that shows you which parameters increase with hero level and what is the current value

• Info: Pressing ALT key will show base value and increment of the ability
• Some non-innate ability might have this per level UI as well

• This mostly affects heroes reworked in update 7.40 and Largo

• Result:
• Tormentor is on the low ground which has three stairs: one leading to the Lotus Pool, one leading to the lane, and one leading to even higher ground area with the Twin Gate
• Twin Gate highground area is now smaller and has three stairs: one that leads to new Tormentor area, one that leads back to the lane, and one that goes two levels down straight to the end of the stream

Historically, Lifesteal was calculated before some damage reductions or amplifications were applied. As a result, you could gain health from attacks that dealt no damage (like attacks against a hero affected by Aeon Disk's Combo Breaker). This will not happen anymore

• The only amplification that is not taken into account is increased damage against illusions

All sources of reflection damage now have an ALT-note detailing mechanics of reflected damage
