The Replay Takeover mode which was something Blizzard touched upon in their title Starcraft2, is another new feature Valve is adding in 6.80 along with the Random Ability Draft Mode mentioned yesterday.
Replay Takeover - Grab your friends and rewrite history! Now you can take control in any replay created after the New Bloom update, then act out the rest of the match from that moment forward. During a replay, hit the Takeover button to create a lobby where everyone can choose which hero to portray. Resume the match, and become the one to turn the tide of a favorite pro play, discover a way to escape an impossible setup, or relive a cherished team fight again and again. Takeovers are considered a new match and have separate replays, which are recorded from the moment you assume control.

Additional Features
Highlighting an allied Ward will now display its effective range.
Holding ALT and clicking on an ability will now issue a context-sensitive ping for that ability. This can be used to indicate whether the pinged ability is ready for use, if you do not have enough mana to use this ability, or to indicate the number of seconds remaining on that ability’s cooldown.
