I'm guessing pl (my favorite sts game) will be completely forgotten now... Just wondering, will there be items and gold and everything and stuff like the consignment shop in call of champions?

Of course it's global, but as it stands currently, I'm in the #1 Team in the world as they've only showcased at SXSW.

1 important question!
Will there be gold and gear/gear upgrades in this game?
Also will there be trading and consignment shops?

Yes, you will be able to set up custom matches.

**Kyle Holmes** · 03-29-2015, 12:14 PM

I think all games like these have bots so you can practice with a champion before you go in ranked games

**Booked** · 03-30-2015, 01:34 AM

So far there isn't an exact release date?

Honestly I think that it's better to not have a release date, because if they make one now, and the game isn't "ready," they'll have to either release it full of bugs, or furthermore disappoint people by postponing the release of it.

**Imobster** · 03-30-2015, 10:43 AM

Is there gonna be any items people who play the game releasing date that we can aquire sort off like arcane legends? Since we can customize our characters?

**Erebos** · 03-30-2015, 12:22 PM

i will be waiting for this game also looks awosom

**Cascade** · 03-31-2015, 03:18 PM

So, this is like DOTA then?

Will it have towers, minions, jungle NPC's, stores?

Will you level up in each game, then it resets the next game you play?

How many playable characters?

Does each character have unique skills?

How hard has it been to balance everything thus far? (I'm assuming it's been harder than previously since there are most likely many more characters than previous STS games.)

What are you doing to increase the depth of this game, seeing that the matches are only 5 minutes long?

My apologies if these questions have already been answered, I didn't have the strength to read through every page.

When is Alpha and how does one go about participating?

(Also, hello, JustG and Cinco)

I'll answer the questions I can. Yes its a bit like dota in some sense and no you won't have minions or NPC's. There is an orb that each team trys to push onto the other teams towers that helps you destroy them faster. The other questions I'll leave for someone that knows more about the game

Call of Champions is a branching out of the MoBA formula, but specifically designed for the mobile environment.

There are towers, 4 per side. There are no minions, instead we have an orb that can be pushed similar to how a minion wave could be and once pushed to an enemy turret will decrease the turret's damage dealt and will slowly deal damage to the turret. There are no jungle NPCs, but there are powerups that can be shared to teammates. There is no store inside a match as there are no items to buy during a match.

Will you level up in each game, then it resets the next game you play?
There is no leveling up during the match, leveling up will take place outside of the matches. Any levels and unlocks earned will be permanent.

How many playable characters?
For SxSW we had 13 playable Champions, but we are actively expanding that roster!

Does each character have unique skills?
Every Champions has unique skills and passives designed to make them interesting and fun.

How hard has it been to balance everything thus far? (I'm assuming it's been harder than previously since there are most likely many more characters than previous STS games.)
Balance has been a fun task, it involves a lot of math and testing.

What are you doing to increase the depth of this game, seeing that the matches are only 5 minutes long?
Even though the match is only 5 minutes, there's still an idea of an early game and late game which adjust what strategies might be best, what risky tactics suddenly become necessary, and what usually safe tactics take too much time.
