Thanks in advance

Also 22minutes of usage I mean playing mc4 drained 10% of the battery is that normal too? I was playing online. When I was playing local the 20 mins drained 5% how come.

Yes it is completely normal. I play Need for speed most wanted for about a 1.5 ~ 2 hours and the battery drains almost completely after a full charge and gets hot at the top but it's expected. So don't worry be happy.

While playing local its only your GPU/CPU that does the work, while online your radios are also working. Almost all parts of the phone are working. So its normal. Also if you are on a long call(~30mins-1hr) your phone may heat up in that case too.

Regarding the heating problem I wanted to ask this, the back gets hot cuz there is no ventilation for the processor of the note 2. Now the question is I got me a back cover silicon from sides rubber on the back does this affect any small ventilation or heat transfer that was happening? I know it does affect cuz I feel a warmth on top but not hot as b4 bcuz of the back cover now. Does this affect or may reduce the performance of processor by time?

The phone has a quad core processor (lol) which is passive cooled. To make your answer and the story very short, you don't need to worry about how hot it gets.
On a side note, I had mine tested from full power till it went off, playing nfs and it got as hot as....imagine pouring hot water in a can to make a tea and let it cool for 5 minutes. You can barely keep it in you hands...well that's how hot my phone went and yes, I play nfs still daily for about 1 month now, still works like a charm.
Passive cooled BGA's (processors) can go much hotter than a normal cooled component. And if it reaches the extreme it should shut down itself, with another words, heat isn't your issue unless you play NFS for 5 hours directly under the australian 50% sun melting the phone:)

totally normal

the exynos chip is located behind the camera ( top of phone -centered- ) so its normal the top back of the phone will heat and the top half of your screen...what do u expect from a processor with no fan? normal!

Cuz thats where the processor is and when u play hugh end game on a quad core thats what u get so heat is normal
And the screen gets hot too its cuz its made of glass so it gains heat from the processor
Its all just fine so dont worry :)

Besides if every thing was not right the device will rebot it self automatically to prevent hardware breaking
