tl:dr A hero with Chosen buff on defense has matchmaking as if it were not buffed, but scores like it was buffed

Introduction:

IS introduced Chosen heroes recently. They buff arena score. IS says the buff is only for offense scores, not defense scores. This is not actually the case.

Evidence:

We made a team that scores <780 if Chosen buff was not increasing defense score, and 780 if is buffing defense score, then fished it.

We have Ghable fishing Arena Assault with a team whose natural range is 764 to 778. He fished

Trying to recall an anime that had roughly the following:

Main character knows of the existence of vampires (possibly a vampire him/herself)

Existence of vampires isn't known at the start of the series, main characters wants to keep it that way

Villain/antagonist wants them to be revealed, possibly a vampire him/herself

At some point partway through the series, the villain attacks a news reporter, I think the cameraman was possibly a vampire so they start feeding off the news reporter on camera

When I came home, instead of the beautiful stone countertop I had ordered, he had installed a cement countertop that was already falling apart. I immediately complained to the contractor.

"My apologies for the mixup," he told me. "I took for granite, all the lime, that I thought would last somehow."

I remember seeing scenes of it on TV. In one scene, characters are running through a forest and there's a shot of some goopy hand behind them. They run past a tree and some eyes on the tree light up. I think they kill the hand creature.

Later there's another scene in maybe a house, they walk out of a room with a bed and the eyes that were on the tree light under the bed.

So one thing I noticed when watching the Andor finale was how much restraint the Empire showed during the riot. At first, it was mostly crowd control and arresting the people that got past the shields. They didn't start blasting until after the kid threw the pipe bomb.

I think it's possible that one thing the Empire changes after Ferrix is to have occupying forces start using deadly force preemptively during riots. It would fit into rule by fear doctrine and in their eyes save the potential future embarrassment.

Which would all fit into Luthen's line:

We need the Empire to help. We need them angry. We need them coming down hard. Oppression breeds rebellion.

Some notes to get out of the way:

• The existence of lightning redirection seems to be unknown to the Fire Nation, as Iroh developed it independently and seems to only have taught Zuko

• Lightning in AtLA seems to leave different marks than fire

• Although how to lightningbend was probably a secret kept in the Fire Nation, Azula practicing it out in the open suggests that its existence in itself wasn't a secret

So some soldiers walk into Ozai's bunker room and find a crispy fried Ozai. Zuko wouldn't be a suspect, as they wouldn't know a non-lightningbender could cause Ozai to die by lightning. Because the cause of death was lightning, there are two suspects:

1. the ambitious and cunning

In the movie Amistad, some characters (an American and a translator) have this exchange :

• That's what you said!
• All right! Yes, I said it! I said it, but I shouldn't have. What I should have said...
• I can't translate that.
• You can't translate what?
• I can't translate "should".
• There's no Mende word for "should"?
• No. Either you do something, or you don't do it.
• What I meant to say, what I meant...
• Not in the way you mean it.
• Try and understand me.
• "Meant" is the same as "should". You're misunderstanding the language.

Is this true for Mende? Or more broadly, are there languages that don't have the concept of "should have"?

In episode 6, Vi's final 2 scenes are the confrontation with Silco in her old childhood home, and the fight with Jinx/Firelights on that platform.

The confrontation with Silco ends with Vi punching the pillar to make the structure collapse. On a very basic level, this would symbolize Vi letting go of the past and focusing on the future, which is true in part (e.g. Vi's opinion on enforcers). It would have potentially also symbolized Vi specifically leaving her memories of the old Powder in the past.

In the fight with Jinx/Firelights, there's a scene where Vi is abruptly made aware of how Jinx changed, as she gleefully fires upon the Firelights, in a departure from the timid Powder that Vi

Normally shooting the same two games in a row isn't super noteworthy, but 80% is a crazy rate especially in the playoffs, and I thought it was funny since there's an "Eight-Ten"/"Ayton" pun to be made.

As far as I could find, he's shot 8-10 twice before this:
