Match-Making

• The GUIDES menu has been significantly upgraded.The Guides area now includes a "Character Builder" that allows users to configure different Item and Ability builds on a god and then view the stats for that god for that build. The current Character Builder is an early rendition and further improvements are expected in future patches (including the re-introduction of the Video Guides and Website Guides, which have been temporarily removed)..
