Two big implementations were added. As mentioned in the newsletter yesterday they are: Flint Beastwood, a Sniper port of DotA, and Striders, boots for ganking heroes.
Striders will increase your move speed by 50 for Marchers and a Recipe, worth 300.
Sounds unfair, but when the hero is out of combat (has not taken any damage for 6 seconds) it will boost the wearers move speed by 150 (Including the 50 of the marchers) over the next two seconds.
Flint Beastwood should be known, an agility ranged hero, with an AoE slow, +range and ministun. His Ultimate is very similar to that of scout, but doesn't slow.
Blood Chalice was changed from using a Scarab to using Crushing Claws.
Hero-wise there were minor nerfs on Nymphora, Chronos, Engineer and Soul Stealer. But on the other side Tundra got a Spell changed, and Forsaken Archer slightly buffed in exchange for losing her Skeleton's DoT.
There were other item/game/hero tweaks, to read the complete patch notes follow the link posted below.
