This is pretty huge for a Moba game to adventure off into this...
The Custom Games hub has been designed to present you with a wide variety of experiences to choose from, which makes finding something new and fun easy to do. We've also created features that enable players to quickly evaluate new and untested Custom Games, giving every Custom Game the opportunity to find an audience.
POPULAR GAMES
Quickly find a list of the 10 most popular games currently being played.
FAVORITE GAMES
You can mark any game as your favorite to easily find it the next time you want to gather your friends for a match.
FRIEND ACTIVITY
See a list of games that your friends have been playing recently. If any of your friends are currently in an open lobby, you can quickly jump in and join them from here.
SUGGESTED GAMES
We know how vital it is for new games to be able to gain exposure, rather than always being hidden behind a dominant lineup of popular titles. The Suggested Games list includes a wide variety of games that are trending upwards and receiving positive votes from players. The selection will change every 30 minutes, presenting everyone in the community with the same 15 games at any given time, making it easy for all matches to fill quickly.
VOTE ON GAMES
The Workshop Vote system presents players with preview videos of various Custom Games to rate. The results serve as one of the metrics in determining if, and how often, a game is shown in the Suggested Games list. Both new and old games, through rotations in voting queues, will always have a chance to find or regain a foothold within the community.
SPECTATE CUSTOM GAMES
Custom Game matches support spectating like any other game, giving you a chance to see your friends play or watch an interesting game in action and decide if it's right for you.
LAUNCH PAGES
Each Custom Game has its own launch page, providing a Play button that allows you to find the lowest ping lobby with enough room to fit your party. If none are available, a new lobby will be created. You'll also find various pieces of useful information on this page, such as patch notes, videos and friend activity. To help foster a community for even the smallest of games, each Custom Game has a dedicated chat room that you can set your client to always join.
CREATE AND BROWSE LOBBIES
Create your own lobby for a Custom Game to give you and your friends a private place to play. You can also set it to public at any time if you want to pull in a few more players from the community. Setting your lobby to public will also cause it to be used automatically anytime someone hits the Play game button on that Custom Game's page, helping you fill your lobby as soon as possible. We've also integrated a full lobby browser that lets you view all the open lobbies available, and filter and sort by game type, custom description, connectivity, players remaining, etc. This lobby browser is useful for gathering players to try a lesser-known game, or to help you gather feedback on your own Custom Game while it's under development.
