Thanks, but

Could you answer the second half of my question? Sorry if that sounded demanding. I'm just interested to see how that will work out.

No prob, this is an AMA

In it's current incarnation, we won;t match L1 and L10 champs. I do believe that you would be able to do that in a private match however.

Do you level in the match, and each match your levels are reset?

Or, do each of your champions/heroes have their own individual level that sticks with them?

Or neither..

You earn XP in matches which you apply to your Champions. Those levels are specific to those Champs. You have to level Champs up to unlock other Champs.

It would be avaible at Chrome? pleaseeee *-*

Sorry, but no (way). This is a highly competitive game, we will keep it a level playing field by only having it on Mobile.

I need to clarify what I meant, I apologize.

You've played VG before once or twice right? You know how you can just choose whatever hero you want and play with your buddies who choose their regular heroes?

What if my old character is level 10 as are my buddies, but then I want to switch to a character I've had no experience with. This would make my party a level 1 hero, and level 10 hero, and another level 10 hero (a total level of 21) How would you match this up? Would you have 3 level 7 heroes fight us (l21)? Would it be matched to the highest level in the party and have 3 level 10s fight us? Is there even team queueing that's not a private match?

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.

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.
