General changes52
This update introduces two new mechanics for each hero: Innate abilities and Facets
Innate Abilities
Innates are abilities that are present on the hero for the entire game, from the very beginning of every match. Every hero has a unique Innate
The Innate for each hero can be viewed on the Hero page, or in-game by hovering a new icon between the hero talents and abilities
There are two types of Innates:
Some Innates grant a hero a unique effect. For example, Faceless Void slows enemy attack projectiles within range, and Dawnbreaker reveals the whole map to allies when the sun rises
Some Innates change a hero ability to have five levels and get a free ability point at level 1. For example, Kunkka's Tidebringer and Legion Commander's Moment of Courage now start at level 1, and can still be upgraded four more times like normal
Facets
Facets are a hero customization choice that provide the ability to better align the playstyle of a hero with a specific match or player preference. Facets are specific to heroes: Each hero has at least two Facets, and every player can choose the Facet they prefer during strategy time at the beginning of each match
Hero Facets can be viewed on their hero page, below the hero name and tags. They can also be viewed in-game by hovering a new icon between the hero talent and abilities, on the scoreboard, or on the top bar when holding Alt
Facets are set for all players after the strategy time, and cannot be changed during a match. Facet choices aren't revealed to the enemy team until after the game begins
Facets can have a variety of effects, for example:
Viper can choose between adding an AoE damage burst to Poison Attack, or increasing defensive buffs while Viper remains in Nethertoxin
Wraith King can choose between summoning skeletons, or dealing additional curse damage when attacking
Leshrac can choose between his attacks restoring mana, or changing Diabolic Edict to explode faster but deal no damage to buildings
Lone Druid can choose between an improved Spirit Link, granting lifesteal in both directions, or allowing True Form to be cast on the Spirit Bear
Other

Using the player perspective on a player whose vision is unlinked will correctly hide units they can no longer see
Pinging items of enemies that can't be seen currently no longer reveals information on whether those items were consumed or not
In demo mode -createhero command supports facets by adding facet name or its number at the end of the command
New Dota Labs Feature: "Persistent Range Indicators" -- If you hold Alt while right-clicking on either your experience indicator, attack range indicator (the stats part of portrait), or an ability/item, the game will draw a persistent range indicator in the world for it. You can only have at most one active at any given time, but it updates automatically when your attack/cast/AoE range changes
New Dota Labs Feature: "Dynamic Health Bar Focus" -- The health bar of any hovered unit will always draw on top of other health bars
Added the ability to type in a hero name to jump to that hero when viewing patch notes in the client
