   Updated Portraits

    A couple of portraits changed this week.

   Shadow Shaman's Portrait

   Rhasta received a major face lift, the differences
   are staggering.
   

   

   Lich's Portrait

   Lich received a minor change this patch. I understand
   if you can't see a difference, it took me a while too. I
   think it's his teeth.

   The purple skin really makes him go from a gamimg hero to a Dota hero.
