I wouldn't really worry too much about Jwong's results. He's lost to top tier talent at EVOs. He's not in the same dominating form for sure, but I wouldn't call him washed out just yet.

I really don't like how they're doing the day splits this year. Last year's SF dramatics wouldn't have nearly been as amazing if they split day 2/3 like they did this time around.

Princess Merida and I are in the realm of Ransei, trying to bring back magic to it's peoples, but along the way we'll have to deal with the evil Amon.

I have no idea why my strength rating is so low. I Delagated only about half my army, but I've never had a castle encounter either

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

So I just unlocked Spectra Nixtorm and Valora, and all of those armies have strength ratings much higher than mine. I only have one pokemon with a rating higher than 300, so I figure I'm underleveled, but I'm finding it very difficult to level my pokemon quickly. I only get about 8 points per battle. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

I've seen a lot of people calling the end a copout, or a Deus Ex Machina, and I don't really get it. We all knew that the Avatar State was the most powerful weapon in this universe, and it has been used and brought up in more ridiculous situations before (Lion Turtle anybody?) If there was no mention of the Avatar State during the finale there would be more people complaining about how the state should have triggered when Korra was in danger.

Overall I thought the finale was pretty great. Yes, the season could have benefited from more episodes, but I'm sure the creators/writers would agree, and they did the best with what they had. Going into the finale I was kind of meh on the Tarllok sideplot, I thought he detracted too much from Amon as a main villain, but I was very pleasantly surprised when everything tied itself together.

Things I didn't like
-It sucks that Korra can replenish people's bending. Having Lin be repowered takes away from the emotional impact of that scene, and takes away from Amon's impact on Republic City. I would have much prefered Aang restoring Korra's bending and no one else's, despite how awesome Lin is.
-All the romantic stuff was pretty bad, although I'm not really the right person for that kind of thing. There was some potential there, but it just made Mako look bad throughout the process.

No matter what the deal with Amon is, I really hope his backstory is explored at least a little bit in the last two episodes. It's been cool having him be this mysterious powerful entity, but I would really like to know more eventually.

I believe that using a Talent art will make the Multiplier gray coloured if it isn't coloured, and just add a number if it is already coloured.

So If I use Back Slash it turns red, then using Elemental Release makes it Red x2. So I don't think you can go Physical Art -> Talent Art -> Ether Art.

Melia's usefulness in chain attacks is amazing. I never really found chain attacks useful until I could reliably make a max chain with Melia and Shulk's Skills.

Learning a new champion is such a painful process. I'm taking it as a sign that I just need to play better overall, and I'm not going to blame it on the champion. Hopefully positive thinking will prevent me from getting too angry and allow me to think clearly.

From my experience (disclaimer I'm not at the end of the game) Seven can replace Shulk pretty easily as the main damage source in your party. Seven starts out a little weaker since their skills are all underlevelled, and I personally value the Monado powers quite highly, but Seven holds their own quite well.

I suppose points can go into the negative, yes.

I believe if a red flies off the table you are supposed to keep it off the table, and penalize the player with a foul

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

Green is 3 points, Brown is 4

For fouls if you commit a foul you never receive any points for that shot. Potting your cue and a red means you don't get awarded points for the red but it does stay off the table.

I believe hitting the black is -7 not -4.

If your on is yellow and you hit a blue you get -5. You are always penalized the higher ball value.

If you hit a red into another red that does count as potting a red and is worth 1 point.

After all the reds are gone you have to pot the balls in ascending order yes.

Just got a pentakill in ranked.

Damn that felt amazing.

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

So I'm playing ranked for the first time in ages, how long does it take to actually get a game going? I've sat through about 5 dodges so far...

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

I would buy these in order:

MR/Level Blues
Flat Armour Yellows
HP Quints
APen Reds + MPen Reds

These runes will be able to go on any champ, so it's a good base. Then I would branch out into things like AS Reds for junglers, MS Quints for carries, Mana Regen Yellows for APs, and some of the other runes people mentioned in this topic.

"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

Riven is fairly flexible with her build, it depends on your style, your team, and your opposing team.

In jungle, Boot 3 pot or Doran's Blade are my two choices. I personally like Doran's in most cases opting for more ganks. Cloth 5 pot if you see somebody like Twitch or Shaco and you expect to need the sustain. After ward go into Wriggles, Bloodthirster, GA, and two situational items.

In lane, I usually open Doran's, but it very much depends on your opponent. Opening Dorans mean you'll want to press your early level strength and hopefully get an early kill. If you do, you'll want to build another Dorans and a Brutalizer. With Brut, runes and masteries, you can do nearly true damage to some champs with the armor pen. Use that to gain a bigger advantage.

If you aren't doing well, then skip the brutalizer and second dorans to get a wriggles. Depending on how badly you're doing, you may also want to max E first, meaning your sustain in lane is crazy good.

Either way, you'll want to build just like jungle, following your first item with BT, then GA, then two situational items.

I like to skill R>Q>W>E, but this is very situational. Use E as much as you can in teamfights, with a maxed E and BT you shield for a ton.

Farming can be a little tricky because Q and W harass damages minions, so be wary about overextending.

Hey Mukmaster, when are you available to play?

Thanks man, I knew I could count on you.

MZero in case you're reading this, I don't want to schedule anything in case he changes pairings.

You had me at Blue Badger.

--
"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

I'm definitely interested.

I think I'm most interested in Shadows Over Camelot, I've played one game (with no traitor) and I'd be cool to play a "real" game of it.

"In the game of chess you can never let your opponent see your pieces."

You want to look to dominate your opponent at levels 1, 2 and 3. If you're in a top lane against somebody you can crush, take Doran's and trade whenever you have creep advantage.

Against some matchups you need to take Cloth 5, and wait a few levels until you kill them. Be very careful about trades, your abilities will naturally push the lane, so be careful about ganks. With good awareness and positioning you can get away with taking Heal Ignite, although I wouldn't rec this until you have a good feel for things.

You can build either damage heavy or a more tankier route. Damage is prefered, only build tanky if your team is super squishy.

Damage build is Dorans Dorans Brutilizer BT GA, with Merc Treads/Tabi in there somewhere.

Remember that your ult is on a very short cooldown, don't be afraid to use it in lane. Don't consider it a waste if it nets you a lot of damage but no kill.

Sweet. Despite it being nearly a year away, I'm super excited, I wasn't in the area for the last GP Toronto. I'll be playing even if I have to borrow cards from strangers (unless it's legacy I guess :\)
