This is where I stop. This last one was beta 17, and there are 34 betas currently. There are 2 new heroes implemented right now - both aggressive casters. I think a lot of people will like this version as it buffs the lower heroes while knocking down the high tier heroes, without setting them down too much. In general it is 80% polish which is always great to have. I'm open for questions if anyone wants them.

Notes:
The shade ability was removed later in the beta, replaced with something else
The overheat ability was removed as well

Pitlord, terrorblade, pheonix, some changes to TC, some number buffs to abbadon. The first 3 are very experimental and are getting a lot of changes/new skills. Terrorblade is regaining most of his old skills in some form
