It gaps the top teams and bottoms teams way too far. I know arena isn't supposed to be balanced but when you have Keystone Conjurer, Light Warden, and Goliath options for Chogath, obviously you'll take Goliath. The 2 losses/3 wins fracture mechanic is just not fun. You take Goliath, win one, lose one, win one, then you have the nail biter round where you either keep or lose you augment. You win? cool you get to stay somewhat level with everyone else. You lose? The top teams keep their upgraded augments and now you're stuck with only your original thowaway silver augment on round 10. "Get gud" whatever, sure. But losing in arena before Locke wasn't as annoying as it is with him, and usually after Locke GoH games I just get off for the day. Please remove it, vibe killer mechanic. It's got me playing Mayhem almost exclusively and Arena is already way behind Mayhem in player count.

The *worst* part about this guest of honor? When you get a natural prismatic augment round, IT STILL FRACTURES AN AUGMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT PROVIDING ANY BENEFIT. Genuinely the worst GoH in arena so far. At least I've never been so annoyed by one to post on reddit hoping a riot dev can see it and remove it. If they want to keep it, at the very least don't fracture an augment when its already a prismatic round, and maybe switch it to 3 wins/3 losses.

Can I get some recommendations for documentaries that are somewhat creative and cinematic, but aren't mostly cuts of people talking into the camera from some office? I just watched the Apollo 11 (2019) doc and loved how it was purely just cinematic footage and audio. Is there a word for that type of documentary? I want more.

NON FICTION. I'm reading The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking) by Katie Mack. I think the distant future is very interesting, and am wondering if there are some recent or up-to-date books that deal with distant future possibilities (rather than things we are pretty certain can't ever happen). I want to know some pretty crazy theories about what *could* happen, maybe concerning humanity's chances at longevity in the distant future, or just some unlikely (but not impossible) crazy theories about physics/cosmology/universes/space engineering/alien life.

I did a search and can't find many books that deal with the distant future, I've seen a couple discussing Mars or Solar System mining. I suppose I'm looking for some optimism about the universe, but also looking to be entertained by some insane possibilities that aren't ruled out by our laws of physics (ideally a serious science book, not so much the episodic XKCD style, though I did enjoy that book too.)

I am binge watching Attack on Titan and wondering if there are JRPGs with a big, important feeling plot like this, that doesn't shy away from heartbreaking character deaths. I am playing FFT and think this fits the bill a bit, the story is gritty and realistic. I also started Trails in the Sky, but I've heard people say this series plays it a little cautiously with character deaths. Any console is fine
