[quote]1. What is difference between Competitive and Quick play?[/quote] Competitive involves the teams switching between attacking and defending (if applicable), trying to outdo the enemy's efforts on the opposite role. Matchmaking is more focused on skill levels and ranks (earned by playing 10 competitive matches) and teammates cannot be replaced mid-match in competitive. Quick play matches involve just one round of a game mode, don't follow a ranking system, and will matchmake a replacement player should one quit or lose connection. [quote]2. What are the gamemodes?[/quote] There are three primary modes that are available in Quickplay, Competitive, Mystery Heroes, No Limits, and Vs AI: -Payload: One team escorts a payload from one point to another, the other tries to stop them within a time limit. If the payload reaches a checkpoint, time is added for the attackers to complete their mission. If the payload does not have any escorts, it will start to back up to it's last checkpoint. -Capture: One team tries to take control points while the other team defends these points within a time limit. There are two points in total, and one must be taken before the other can be unlocked. If the first point is taken, the attackers receive additional time. -Control Point: Basically King of the Hill. Both sides fight over a single point that they will try and hold until they fill a progress thingy to 100%. Once that happens, the team holding the control point gets a score point and then both sides are moved to a different portion of the map to repeat the process. First to the designated victory score wins. That being said, there are few other modes in the Arcade: -1v1 Elimination: You face off against one other person in a best of 5 duel to the death. Thing is, each round involves you both playing one of the heroes at random. -3v3 Elimination: You and two other people make a tram to face against another three people in a single elimination deathmatch. First team to win three rounds wins the match. -Capture the Flag: both teams have a flag by their spawn, first team to take three of the enemy flags to their (untaken) flag will win. If time runs out before then, the victory will be handed off to the team will the most stolen flags. [quote]3. How to progress in game and what are rewards?[/quote] As you play, you earn experience, which levels you up. Leveling up to a certain amount will unlock competitive and different portrait borders. Every 100 levels gives you a new tier of portraits. Arguably more important is the fact that you get a loot box every time you level up. Loot boxes contain skins, voice lines, sprays, emblems, emotes, and credits to spend on skins, voice lines, sprays, and emotes. In competitive, you can rise through the ranks, but you also get competitive points for every match you play. For every 3000 points you get, you can buy a golden weapons skin set for one of your heroes. [quote]4. Can I play PvP PvAI and AIvAI?[/quote] The game is built around PvP, has PvAI modes, and you can probably make an AIvAI match in custom games. [quote]5. How to best combine teams?[/quote] Depends on the modes, maps, and enemy team compositions. For the most part, you'll want at least one tank and healer. The rest is probably something to discuss with your team. [quote][spoiler]6.
