Valve hasn't mentioned it just yet, but a new patch has been dispatched for the main Dota 2 game client - according to Reddit leaker 'Iris_mus' - and there's going to be a handful of updated character models to check out and a major animation overhaul for Weaver. However, interestingly, a lot of fans in the replies to the Reddit thread on said update can't find a difference.
In the patch overview shared online, it states that Marci, Meepo, Shadow Shaman, Weaver, and Witch Doctor will all have updated hero models moving forward. Without details on how these models are different, this could mean a significant cosmetic change or something minor like a slight change in colour. We're leaning towards the latter based on what people are saying, however, future cosmetic changes could be made to the aforementioned heroes.
Interestingly, though, this patch also includes a significant update to Weaver's animations. We're not going to list them all, but players can look forward to a new head animation loop, new turning animations, an updated set of idle animations, and more.
