I have played that game, but rage quit every time

In your (very) specific example, I don't believe you would be matched up in ranked play, but you could host a custom match that would allow that.

1) Can you level up in custom matches?

2) I don't think that issue is really that specific. You'll find that often in MOBAs, people like to group up with their "regulars", or a group they often play with. Mine includes Prosecuted, and another guy in Vainglory. To continue grouping up with them, do all three of us need to play our unlocked character together in order to have any effect on leveling?

What if they want to stick with their leveled characters, but I don't? Am I really forced to grind all the way back just to play with my regular group using my new character? I think that takes away any benefit of a five minute match.

3) Basically what I'm asking is for the specifics behind team queueing, I guess. How are character level and skill rank level taken into account? If you could provide any important information that you think could answer my question, that would be amazing. Really looking forward to the game, but not the grind.

EDIT: You said "apply XP" to your characters somewhere in the thread. Is XP like the currency earned in Call of Champions?

I think you are calling out some very specific edge cases. Not sure how we'll handle all the team queuing questions, but thank you for the thoughts. Hopefully the game is so much fun you won't think of it as a grind.

I believe a simpler way of asking would just be, can you queue up with your friends? You create a party, invite 2 people, then queue up.

Yes

[DivineMoustache]

Yes

OK, now progressing from that, how will the friend's different levels and skill rank factor into that? Not everyone will have the same level and skill tier. If you don't want to answer the question again that's fine, I don't know if it's the wording of my previous questions that made it seem super specific, but this above is pretty much what I'm trying to get to.

Ya we're just gonna have to see how that all works out

Ah OK, I understand it's still under development. Hopefully you guys take situations like this under consideration when working out the kinks to queueing!

Thank you for your patience and for answering the questions as best as you could!

OK, looking forward to finding out once the game starts testing then.

Totally stoked! Can't wait to see this game in action!

Whoever did the website did a killer job. Is there any kind of confirmation email when you sign up for the newsletter? Just so I am not spamming my email address 15 times making sure I get the new info.
