Pay-To-Win

To instantly gain access to all the game's characters, weapons and abilities with real money.

That dude is level 1 and has all the characters unlocked with the highest tier abilities while I didn't pay and have none, play it dirty and pay-to-win noob.

Pay to win means, for $$$ you can by power ups which are not available in game any other way. I

If these items can not be obtained in anyway that does not involve money, and they are essential to winning, then the game is pay-to-win..
