- Neutral Creeps no longer drop neutral items on death.
- Now they drop Neutral Tokens of different tiers (1 to 5)
- You can click on your Neutral Token to choose one of 5 random neutral items of the token’s tier and the token will permanently turn into one of those
- Each hero has their own selection of random items. Having multiple tokens of the same tier will always result in the same selection of items as the options are fixed per player, not per token
- Neutral Tokens are fully shareable and may be sent to Neutral Stash
- Neutral items claimed from Tokens are not shareable anymore and cannot be taken from Neutral Stash by allies. Items will be muted in their inventory similarly to regular items
- Neutral Tokens can be equipped without the 6s backpack penalty but can also be used from backpack
- You can no longer see your allies’ stashed neutral items, since you can’t do anything with them
