When you criticize characters tactics in a fight, it's best to look at it from their standpoint rather than the writers. Think about it like this: Mako made a choice not to attempt bending lightning when he went to rescue Korra and the others. We don't what his skill level is with lightning. Why attempt that when you see three of the best benders in the city lying unconscious in front of you? As for Korra, we've already seen her over-reliance on fire when she has the capability to do more. It's an experience issue regarding what she's comfortable with in a fight. In time she'll get better, just wait. And Tenzin probably wouldn't use suffocation as an attack anyway. Plus it would require time he simply didn't have while defending himself from multiple opponents on all sides. Just step back and put yourself in their shoes. It's not just about what you can do in a fight. It's more about what you'd be willing to do, based on your experience, composure and principles. - Turk
