Editing Custom Game (section)

== The lobby ==
[[File:Custom Game Lobby + stadium toggle.png|thumb|Lobby view]]
Upon selecting a custom game from the menus, you will be either taken straight into the game or into the lobby, depending on whether the host has started it or not. Once you have joined, you will be playing the custom game created by the host with its own ruleset.

Players can create their own custom game lobby by pressing the '''+CREATE''' button next to the search field. Upon entering the lobby, you will notice a lot of things surrounding the player list:

On the left, there is the current map (its name will be displayed on the image), your custom game name (you can edit it by selecting it), the current game mode and lastly how public you want the game to be. The default option is '''Friends Only''', the other options being '''Invite Only''' and '''Everyone'''. Hosting a lobby with the "Everyone" setting requires the player to have a minimum [[Endorsement Level]] of 3.

In the centre, you have the teams. If FFA is selected, the ''"VS"'' will be removed and so will the team names. You can edit the team names to be whatever you like. The owner of the custom game mode will be placed on team 1 every time they create a custom game unless they used a template that has already been made. You can also change the amount of players to be 12 via the ''lobby'' settings.

Above the player list, there are four buttons: "Move", "Settings", "Invite" and "Add AI". Using the Move button, you can instantly put everyone on separate teams, or you can select a player and swap them with another player by selecting the player you wish to swap them with. The Settings button takes you to the Settings menu, where you can adjust the game mode and lobby. The Invite button allows you to either invite someone out of your [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] friends list or directly using their battle tag. Once you have selected someone, the check-box next to their name should have a green check mark, this allows you to select more than one person at a time. After that, you can select what team they go on. If it is an FFA, they will be assigned the next slot available, if not, you can decide whether they go on Team 1 or Team 2.

Finally, we have the add AI button. In this menu, you can choose to add computer-controlled players to the game. You can individually set them to use a certain [[hero]] (nearly all heroes will be available to add as an AI) or a hero from a certain [[role]]. If you use the Recommended Role AI button, it will give you 1 Tank, 2 Damage and 2 Support bots. Next, you can choose the difficulty, these are: 

* Beginner
* Practice
* Casual
* Hard
* Lethal
* Extreme
* Ultimate
* Aimbot

You can then choose the amount of the specific AI you want with the ''count'' section. And finally, you can choose what team for them to go on, team 1 or team 2. AI only works on standard game modes.

Below the player list, there are the [[Spectators]] slots, with the maximum amount being 12 and the default being 2. You change the amount in the settings. When you are ready, you can start the custom game mode with the ''Start'' button.

=== Viewing the summary ===

You can access the summary through the lobby.

On the left, the game mode's image is portrayed, in this case [[Unranked]]. Beneath that is the custom game name, the creator, how long it has been up for and the total amount of players.

In the centre, there is the lobby information, this will display any changes made excluding [[Workshop]] changes. You can save presets here as well as report existing custom game modes.

On the right, the games description will be displayed. You can change this in the summary (See the ''Settings'' section).
