I'm pretty sure it has to reupdate all the patches, because it took hours for me. However, the new patcher is nice and pretty so I'm all good with it.
Click for one of my awesome builds!

The only thing i'm really sad about the new patcher is that custom skins and such will be a bigger hassle to install now. I'm gonna have to figure out what program(s) to get in order to open/modify the .raf and .dat archive files.

Back when I first did it, I had to constantly quit out and restart it, it would resume where it left off.

It's taking long because its changing EVERYTHING from one format, to a whole NEW format. So relax, drink some cofee and watch some TV. :]

The new patcher's main point is to allow you to run previous versions of the game and thus enabling replays :D
"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T
