What factors into how much experience you receive per game?
win (500xp)
finishing a match (250xp)
consecutive match (200xp and get a 200xp added if you play another match in the same room/server/lobby/session/your word)
medals (gold=150xp, silver=100xp, bronze=50xp and you can only gain xp from a single medal, if you have 2 gold medals you will only receive the exp from one, also if you get a gold and a silver medal only the gold medal will give you exp)
match duration (4xp per sec)
and a first win bonus every days of 1500xp and 20% group bonus exp if you play in a party

I know medals are one of them but I dunno how people get so many medals all the time. My friends tend to rotate through getting several at a time... =(
you can easily get 3 gold medals
3 of the medals are not that hard to get if you play tank and dps, the first one is objective time, just stay on the objective, it's easier to do it in attack because you can sneak behind the enemy lines with certain heroes and start capturing the point without being noticed (it will also help your team), by playing the objective you also get objective eliminations and this gives a medal, the elimination medal is also easy to get because you don't have to kill the enemy, assists count as elimination so be sure to hit all the enemies in a teamfight. the damage done medal is harder to get because it depends on what character you're playing
getting gold medals also depends on your skill and the skill of your teammates, but these 3 medals are in my opinion easy to get even for a bad player if you play the right character and do the correct technique
