I really don't understand why people are so worried about Chaos Knight. He's not been exactly strong, he farms so slow and has huge mana problems.

It's too late at night for me to do the maths right now, but Darkness will now be used during the day and will mean less overall daylight for Night Stalker, thus less down time, so it works out to be a pretty big buff.

Darkness will take part of the day instead of freezing the clock, that's true, but not being able to activate it during nighttime will be very hard to get used to for sure. And as I said before, if you get initiated on or silenced you won't be able to do much (which isn't that big of a deal because almost every Hero is useless in these situations), but mostly you won't benefit from the extended vision unless you activate your ultimate before initiating, which will discourage the enemies from joining the teamfight.

errr what.
With the new patch mana problems will be reduced a little.
But here is the thing.
Try going on a CK when he has manta, skadii, armlett, and bkb. you can't. Simply because there are too effing many of him. And how does he farm slowly? Sit in-lane and last hit also he has pretty good early game kill potential so yeh, you cant exactly stop him if they're good.
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

IAS to 600?
Nearly as much a buff to Troll Warlord as it is to ursa and WR. You can now build attack speed items on him without them being useless when he ults. Butterfly is actually a really strong item on him now, as is Assault Cuirass. Throw in a Diffusal Blade and burn like 75 mana a second. With more attack speed.

If you look at the rune changes and how bottle crow is constantly being nerf'd, it's high likely Icefrog is trying to edge players to contest rune spawns then see how you react if you've taken the rune or not. There isn't an RNG factor in regards to refilling your bottle anymore and it's pushing mid players to leave the mid lane instead of staying mid forever with bottle crow.

They are promoting roamers imo.
Get a rune gank mid.

It can also be said, if you observe the repurcussions, you can see icefrog loves pubs and hates pros.
He wants that the pro scene should also do the same as pubs, mid takes a rune and ganks the lanes where players are underlevelled. So the onus will shift on teams to draft gankers as mid laners than heroes who need levels to become effective, like carries going mid with support in pro scene

Chaos Knight hasn't fit the meta for some time now. He's easy to exploit early with his ****py mana pool, has good late game but can be countered very, very easily by heroes like Earthshaker or Medusa, and takes too long to come online.

None of the farming items benefit him well enough except arguably Hand of Midas, and even that's pretty bad on him. Anyone can sit in lane and last hit, and Chaos Knight isn't too hard to kill if you get a decent 3 man smoke gank - he has speed and some tankiness but no real escapes.

If you let a Chaos Knight get Manta Style, Eye of Skadi, Armlet of Mordiggian and Black King Bar when your team lacks the AOE/Illusion reaping gorgon to stop him then you will get run down. Similar to how you will likely lose a 70 minute game against Spectre or Medusa, what you are saying is not CK being OP, it is one team being terrible in terms of decision making or just one team snowbaling its way through weaker opponents.

Don't get me wrong though I really like CK, but he is very far from being one of the strongest heroes now

CAn anyone clarify this for me?
Diffusal is now not a UAM, so illusions will keep it or not?
They kept diffusal as an orb, but now its not an orb will they keep it?
I mean illusions dont lifesteal do they?
