Acid Spray cooldown increased from 22 to 27
Unstable Concoction maximum stun duration decreased from 1.75/2.5/3.25/4 to 1.25/1.75/2.5/3.25
Acceptaple nerf since his 4 second aoe stun was to op for a carry hero and acid spary cd too.
Ancient Apparition:

Cold Feet stun duration rescaled from 1.25/2/2.75/3.5 to 1.5/2.25/2.75/3.5

Berserker's Call mana cost decreased from 80/90/100/110 to 80
We'll se more axe picks.
Bane Elemental:
Cast animation time increased from 0.5 to 0.7
Really nice buff, since bane can disable too many heroes: Sleep, grip or reduce carry dmg, and now his hands are too bit slower
Batrider:
Movement speed decreased from 290 to 285
Attack range decreased from 375 to 330
Sticky Napalm turn rate slow rescaled from 70% to 40%/50%/60%/70%
Nice nerf in lane phase but i think the real problem with bat is his jungling power, it is easy purchase a dagger before 10 minuts mark.
Broodmother:
Insatiable Hunger can no longer be purged
Spiderling movement speed increased to from 350 to 375
Spiderling base attack time from 1.35 to 1.0

The problem with broodmama is: her it is not very durable in early phase

Good, we can kill chen early now.
Crystal Maiden:
Base movement speed increased from 280 to 290
The most waited buff ever??

Fine and cool.
Doom Bringer:
Int growth from 2.1 to 2.5
Scorched Earth cooldown decreased from 60/55/50/45 to 55/45/35/25
With this buff, doom will get more durable team battle presence, the duration of lvl 4 is 16 seconds, so 9 sec to active again.
Dragon Knight:
Base armor decreased by 1.5
Dragon Tail stun duration rescaled from 2.5/2.75/3/3.25 to 1,5/2/3/3.25
Don't like this nerf, maybe 2 seconds on lvl 1 would be more better.
Enigma:
Added Aghanim's Scepter:
Cast range increased to 300
Enemies in a 850 AoE have their turn rate slowed by 55% and are pulled towards the center of the Black Hole at 100ms if they are facing it

Apocalypse!!??
Furion:

Clearly Post ti3 change..
Goblin Shredder:
Added Aghanim's Scepter
Increases Chakram speed from 900 to 1000

I like this but it seems that maybe he will be nerfed in 6.80.

Flak Cannon now only deals Gyrocopter's base damage
Flak Cannon maximum attacks increased from 3/4/5/6 attacks to 4/5/6/7
Call Down mana cost increased from 125 to 200
Facepalm and no more gyro.
Huskar:
Added to Captain's Mode!
Base armor decreased by 1
You can now deny yourself with the self-damage of Burning Spears.
Burning Spears can no longer be used while in Ethereal form.
Don't know about this hero perfomance in competitive gaming. Solo mid, offlaner or trilane carry?
Io:
Tether maximum radius rescaled from 900 to 500/550/600/750
Tether movement speed bonus decreased from 17% to 7%/10%/13%/16%
Reasonable.
Lifestealer:
Base armor decreased by 1
Movement speed decreased from 315 to 310
Still op.
Lone Druid:
Spirit Bear bounty increased from 300 to 350
LD nerf is senseless, since he was nerfed in 6.78, LOL. Directly bulldog's nerf???
Lycanthrope:
Howl unit bonus damage increased from 4/8/12/16 to 5/10/15/20
Shapeshift duration rescaled from 18 to 15/20/25
He is still a good late game carry with or without 2 or 7 seconds on his ult. lycan's problem is early game.
Morphling:
Attack range increased from 350 to 380
I expected more from IceF about morph, maybe Morph manacost to 25mp/sec or base atk damage from 37-46 to 40-49, dont think morphling will back to competitive right now but is ok...
Necrolyte:
Base strength increased by 3
Strenght growth from 2 to 2.3
Heartstopper Aura HP loss increased from 0.6%/0.9%/1.2%/1.5% to 0.7%/1.2%/1.5%/2%

Nerubian Weaver:
Movement speed decreased from 290 to 280
Good !
Obsidian Destroyer:
Essence Aura base mana bonus removed
Its good to stop OD hard laning presence.
Omniknight:
Purification heal works on magic immune units (damage is still pure and doesn't damage immune units)
Degen Aura reworked:
Radius increased to 400
Slow decreased to 5%/10%/15%/20%
If an enemy unit dies in the radius of Degen Aura, an illusion of them that does 20% damage and takes 450% incoming damage is created for 20 seconds. Illusions have their movement speed fixed at 400 and carry the same level of Degen Aura as Omniknight
Both movement and attack slow of Degen Aura from multiple units now stack
Illusions appear as the fake for both teams
The problem is to kill a hero in this abillity radius

Hope another buff for he.

Instant pick?

Phase Shift cooldown increased from 6 to 8
Ok, i think we can kill puck now.

Base attack time decreased from 1.7 to 1.6
Loda's smileee.
Rikimaru:
Using items and abilities won't reveal Rikimaru in Permanent Invisibility
Movement speed increased from 300 to 310
Dagons from nowhere should be funny.
Rubick:
Telekinesis now ends if Rubick and the targeted unit are moved 675 units away from each other
Spell Steal mana cost increased from 25 to 65
Someone can explain me this telekinesis nerf?
Sand King:
Sandstorm now gives 10%/15%/20%/25% miss chance to enemies in the AoE
Great synergy with his blink/epicenter.
Skeleton King:
Hellfire Blast slow increased from 20% to 25%
If a unit affected by Mortal Strike dies before the end of its duration, Skeleton King instantly regains the passive critical strike and drained health won't be returned.
Reincarnation now stuns units for 1/1.5/2 seconds at the end of the slow.
Auras carried by Skeleton King stay in effect during Reincarnation.
I prefer not to comment this.
Slardar:
