Before we get into changes, here are some tips you might have missed:
You can rename your heroes by hovering over their name in the hero window (just for fun :))
You can Infuse items by clicking "Infuse" in the item window, which sacrifices gems of the same or higher level as the item to increase all stats up to x3 (+20)
In the Botanist, you can use Ent Hearts around a single Scorpion Stinger to increase its range to the whole garden!
Potions (even without the big changes coming) can increase your damage by a lot!
