Vainglory

Top Pro

Precision touch controls

Vainglory uses ultra-precise tap controls that effectively utilize the touchscreen on mobile devices and simplify mechanical gameplay. See More

Top Con

Controls take some practice to get used to

Unique controls which are extremely weird for most people. Basically same controls like LoL, but on mobile. Takes practice cause if you make a minor mistake, you could still get killed by enemy team. Practice and practice and you'll get used to it. See More

Qwerty's Experience

Wow this is new! There was no “my experience” when I first recommended here. So here goes: Vainglory in my opinion is very distinct from its competitors in the mobile platform. It’s has much more depth than other mobile MOBAs, for one, it (and Heroes Evolved) are the only mobile MOBAs with a vision and warding system. VG also conforms with “last hitting” where you don’t get any gold without being the one who kills the minions. Vainglory also has a river mechanic that makes it different from other MOBAs (even PC ones). In short, Vainglory wants to be different instead of just being a LoL clone, but it also doesn’t “dumb down” the MOBA formula just because it’s on mobile. That’s why I was easily able to get the hang of LoL with my VG knowledge since I already knew what wards and last-hitting were in addition to splitpushing, leashing, lane management, counter-building, counter-drafting (comfort picks, denying meta picks, etc.) and counter-jungling. All of which are Macroplay strategies Vainglory doesn’t sacrifice just because of being mobile. See More

Top Pro

Truly immersive

Heroes are well thought out, with immersive lore courtesy of SEMC's Sugarvenom. The stories are amazing and even the smallest detail is described in depth. (The Stormguard Saga is a good place to start if you're interested). See More

Top Con

Game size

The main hindrance why most prefer other mobile competitors. Although it delivers everything very well, older generation of devices have storage issues. The game is roughly 1.8gb+ when fully installed as of update 3.2 See More

KindKyrbas's Experience

Yet ,It is the best MOBA game for android,ios devices. It has a great graphics compared to Mobile Legends,AOV and other MOBAS for mobile phones. Its control is perfect for MOBA gamers. Vainglory has 100% originality. See More

Top Pro

Great graphics

The developers put a lot of effort to create Vainglory's beautiful graphics which contribute to the game's smooth movement and amazing fight scenes. See More

Top Con

Servers aren't the greatest

You need very good internet speed to be lag-free. SEA servers are the only one who often encounter server problems. This may be because of the number of players online or carrier connections. See More

ResoluteYucahu's Experience

Great graphics, great gameplay, no "pay to win" and overall a great community See More

Top Pro

Cross platform Android and iOS support

Vainglory is available for free on Android's Google Play Store and the iOS' App Store for both tablets and phones. Users on both platforms are able to play together. See More

Top Con

No longer supported, Community edition only available

Vainglory devs lost their servers and released a Community Edition, which is currently on pause development-wise. The game has been pulled from Steam, Samsung, and Amazon platforms, and is only available on iOS App Store and Android Play Store. Developers intend to get back to the game in the future, but there's no definite timeline. See More

EarnestArktos's Experience

I haven't played other touch moba games but i play dota2 (4k wisp spamer) I can say this game is the future See More

Top Pro

Works well on tablets

Tablets, with their larger screens allow for a good sense of control over the game, which makes Vainglory something that plays best on larger screens devices due to how much is happening on the screen. See More

Top Con

Toxic Comunity

Most of toxic player are gatered around middle of the rank. So there shouldn't be any problems to new player See More

matthew ho's Experience

best product, and development shows it'll only get better See More

Top Pro

30+ available heroes

For a mobile MOBA, having 30+ characters to choose from is not too shabby, which gives a nice level of choice to the player as well as stretches the content of the game for those who want a variety of different gameplay and strategy. See More

Top Con

2:1 aspect ratio

Currently, game does not support 2:1 screen aspect ratio. It's up to your phone's upscaling setup. See More

KnowledgeableErecura's Experience

Fair gaming system and enjoyable, you gotta like it so much! See More

Top Pro

Frequent updates

The developers are constantly releasing new heroes, skins, features and balance changes that enhance players' experience. See More

MemorableBythos's Experience

More Balanced and Depth Strategy both micro and macro See More

Top Pro

Strict punishments for bad behavior

Vainglory enforces the Low-Priority Queue to toxic players who: AFK, lose intentionally, ping rudely, and leave during hero select causing matchmaking to take almost twice as long. These players must complete a number of games without breaking these rules to get out of the Low-Priority Queue, or risk even longer matchmaking and more matches needing completion. See More

AgreeableKinieGer's Experience

Heroes are truly balanced. See More

Top Pro

Better than other MOBAs

Mobile Legends skins are all pay-to-look-good whereas Vainglory skins can be crafted from scratch. The splash art and in-game look are truly amazing with different recall animations and in-game effects. Mobile Legends have an exclusive skin every month which you need to pay for. You have to be a starlight member in order to get that skin. See More

HumbleAmeNoKoyane's Experience

great graphics See More

Top Pro

Great competitive scene

Vainglory is a mobile E-sport (one of the very few) , with massive prizes and many pro teams that may be familiar if you play other MOBAs (such as LoL). See More

DignifiedBellona's Experience

Straight up better than any other mobile moba game. See More

Top Pro

Non-pay to win

Aside from a few skins and hero emotes, there really isn't anything to splash cash on making it so that the game does not rely on real cash to progress. See More

JollyHermodr's Experience

I tried but controls are terrible, both of them, the only good graphics is for the map, heroes, ability, towers are also bad....i tried many times to replay it but still dont like it See More

Top Pro

Well developed rank system

10 unique ranks, each with more difficulty to climb. Draft mode when rank is at a high enough level. If player is inactive, their rank will decay over time. Rank will have a small reset after each season (as of Autumn 2017). See More

Top Pro

44 available heroes

For a mobile MOBA having 44 characters to choose from is not too shabby, which gives a nice level of choice to the player as well as stretches the content of the game for those that want to learn and customize each one. They add a new hero every month. See More

Top Pro

Acually have a map control mechanic

For many mobile moba game, like Aov there are invisible hero but there aren't anyway to review them See More

Top Pro

32 available heroes

For a mobile MOBA having 32 characters to choose from is not too shabby, which gives a nice level of choice to the player as well as stretches the content of the game for those that want to learn and customize each one. See More

Heroes Evolved (Mobile Version)

Top Pro

Map awareness

The game has no bushes but the restricted map view (due to fog of war) makes the use of wards vital. This is a concept that lacks from other games of this genre. See More

Top Con

A large group of people make the game less enjoyable with their communication

Tendou Ind's Experience

This game is the best, you can use pure your skill to play this game, and no buy to win system make this game is realy good, and the map is large make other player to hard think about other formation to make the team win, no grass is not problem beacause he use the fog mode, and the heroes, no heroes are over power so is fair to play becau other hero have a weakness See More

Top Pro

Nice game

Sometimes lags but it's fun if there's no internet issue. See More

Top Con

Bad community

Don't expect people to talk nice, as they will often end up insulting you for just calling a role and picking it. You can expect trolling, racism, and hate speech as well. See More

JL Greyt's Experience

Good as like lol and dota2 See More

Top Pro

Balanced gameplay

Even the most "fed" player will struggle to win alone at teamfights. That makes the game great for teams and allow players to show their real skills at MOBA games. See More

Top Con

Low playerbase

Starting few divisions are all bots and matches feel like 1v1 or 2v2 rather than 5v5. It's fine after 3 ranks though. But still takes time to reach. See More

StudiousSaule's Experience

Loved this game at first but realized something as I climbed up the ladder, the game has so many bots in game upto platinum league making rank pushing really tough. The characters are really unique but the matchmaking from platinum onwards takes too much time. A majority of the community does not speak English in game so it's impossible to communicate. See More

Top Pro

Daily/special missions

There's always daily missions to complete that will give nice rewards. Special event missions give even better rewards. Such missions are easy to do, so you'll most likely finish them after you feel like you're done playing anyway. See More

Top Con

Support is BAD

DecorousErimon's Experience

bad signal bad developer. See More

Top Pro

Game feels great to play

Game has a great visual appeal even in case of characters. Their skills are also unique and so is the map See More

Top Con

It requires a lot of space

Heroes Evolved has a ton of updates, leading to more and more space required on your phone. See More

EnchantingOeyangganshin's Experience

Great style and good pace i have alot of fun after learning the mechanics of this game. See More

Top Pro

More fair and balanced than mobile legends

Top Con

Not much to do for new players

Keeps recommending new player to play rank while the only hero one would have is Minerva and the log in bonus for new players would only award you one hero at most, such as a Rockman, which is worse compared to VG, ML and AoV that would award new players around five heroes for logging in or playing the game. See More

Top Pro

Heroes

The developers are adding more and more heroes over time. See More

Top Con

Stale meta

Certain items - e.g. Searing Longsword. Demonic Mask - have been so overwhelmingly strong that they have been staples for years. They have moulded the meta and pushed older heroes out of competitive playability completely. Instead of buffing/nerfing items and heroes to keep the game fresh, the developers have just added extra features to the game in the form of different modes, or tried to hide the problem by releasing increasingly powerful heroes. See More

Top Pro

Wide variety of items

There are many purchasable in-game items in Heroes Evolved, with their own passives and actives. The wide variety of these items makes it interesting to explore the game. See More

Top Con

A lot of stuns in this game

It's ridiculous. Over half the heroes can stun, and if your team doesn't pick heroes with stuns you are seriously screwed. See More

Top Pro

Easy to acquire heroes

It's easy to buy the heroes because of gold from battle and gold from every day missions. See More

Top Con

Buggy, hero can get stunned forever in battles

GenerousJavine's Experience

Really nice game, fast paced, nice heroes See More

Top Con

Un-original, lackluster depth and regulated communities

AoV players must be tired of saying "we're not copies of LoL, Tencent bought out Riot so they own the IP". As much of a copy this game is, it doesn't deliver anywhere near an experience that LoL offers. Better stick to something more original and true to MOBAs like Vainglory. See More

DecorousBamapana's Experience

Super high latency sometimes, can make the game unplayable, otherwise is an excellent moba See More

Top Con

Pay to play game

Buying runes and champs takes a lot of time. They always try to get the money out of your wallet first if you want to catch up meta. New champs are always stronger than the old ones. See More

Top Con

Specs

Lags heavily in 4GB RAM or below devices, with regular ping problems. For those living in a SEA region a constant ping of 120 is normal. Even India to Thailand or Korea servers give you 90 ping. See More

MellowMayahuel's Experience

heroes/shikigamis are pretty balanced, "older" shikigamis can still brawl out with newer ones, if you played other MOBAs, it's fairly easy to pick up the gameplay of Onmyoji Arena... See More

Top Pro

Great art style

The Japanese art style is unique and easy to the eye. See More

Top Con

Space consuming and long queues

As the game isn't heavily advertised expect long queues at certain times (approx 3 min and upwards). Plus the game as of now takes up about 4-5 GBs of space. It has a lot of potential to be an amazing game but it needs to be advertised so there can be a larger player base eliminating long queue time. See More

PerseveringPapatuanuku's Experience

The graphics are great and the characters have unique abilities! Furthermore, the characters are not easily forgettable as they have special features which makes them stand out! See More

Fantastic game

Great graphics, great gameplay, great texture and effects. Good set of characters. Can easily go head to head against expensive characters using cheaper ones. Overall you're gonna have a great time playing the game. Only issue would be long queue time. See More

Top Pro

Astoundingly crafted MOBA for Android

The graphics of the game is amazing, really a fine art. Balanced gameplay too, balanced hero pool (Every hero / shikigami is great if you know how to utilized it). Developer regularly updates the game too with various events, new heroes, skins, even collaboration events like Inuyasha crossover (the new one are with Bleach, but still in the China server, hope NetEase will make it to all server).

PioneeringZagreus's Experience

This one is the Famous MOBA in ASEAN coz Easy to Learn how to improve yourself in Gaming, Ranking and Skills. Somebody will say, " MLBB is a Childish One"; Of course not! We may Angry if Teammates play in bad manners; we may happy if Teammates play in good manners.

Top Con

Bad matchmaking and Equally bad credit system

The matchmaking of this game itself causes many rage quits in game be it any tier. You can't play to your full potential more than half of the time because either your teammates are cancer noobs or pros carrying the whole game and trolling others. Then if someone played so bad that they deserve to be punished the game hardly punishes them. the punishment system is extremely bad but the developers never pay attention to it See More

Yoga Sugama's Experience

Top Con

Players often insult each other in the battle chat. Most the time so many words are being censored that you only see asterisks. See More

Top Pro

The most popular MOBA game

It's the most popular MOBA game but only in Souteast Asia since a majority of ML players don't have phones. Outside those areas though, it struggles to fight with Leauge of Legends & Dota 2 See More

HappyJustitia's Experience

the image that is given here4s old but the new updated version is op and its graphics is also good now and it is the most popular moba .the best See More

Top Con

Too much lag

Although the developers are trying hard at every patch to fix the lag and the lag spikes, it remains a major problem, leading to AFK players. See More

Top Pro

Great controls

The game has very good control. Auto targeting or manual. If auto then you can chose the one with the lowest health or the closest to your hero. See More

Top Con

Has players that know what is better for the games

Some players in the community act like they know what is the best. All developer's actions are WRONG because they're not following what-is-the-best for player. Skin stat boost? You can see how many kids are playing this game. See More

Top Con

Skins boost stats

You can have stat bonuses if you buy a skin with real money, but the bonuses can be considered negligible (e.g. +8 Physical Atk for Assassins/Fighter/Marksman, +8 Magic Power for Mages, and +100 HP for tanks). See More

PopularWatatsumi's Experience

Top Con

Map hack bug

Developers focus more on getting money than fixing this bug. See More

Top Pro

New heroes every 2 weeks

Heroes are released pretty quickly every month weeks — there have been new heroes like Atlas, Wanwan as of March 2020 but every new hero seems like a ripoff of some other popular PC moba games like League of Legends and Dota 2 See More

CheerfulAntiphates's Experience

Really good game if they fix the lagging problem See More

Top Con

Membership advantage

The Starlight Members in the game usually always win not for skills but rather "Pay-to-win". See More

Top Pro

Balanced gameplay

Most games are very close. There are no champions that are "broken", and matchups place you with and against players of equal skill levels. (This is sarcasm)(All the heroes are broken) See More

AwareHermes's Experience

Constant Updates See More

Top Con

Stun - disable meta game

Most heroes have stuns and disables, which makes the gameplay challenging. Too many stuns doesn't allow players to show their full skill-play since after the 3 sec stuns there are very few ways to escape and probably leads to an instadeath. See More

Heroes of Order & Chaos

Top Con

Pay to win

Players can purchase slight advantages if they use real world money. Harder swings that cause more damage or faster movement in general are purchasable upgrades found in the in-app purchase store. This creates an unbalanced playing field as players with more money to waste will have an advantage. See More

Top Pro

3 maps with solo and 3v3 and 5v5 play

There are three maps available to play on that allow solo play where the user plays with a team of bots or online play where the player can play with two other real players vs 3 others real players and then a five vs five made up of real players on each team. If any one team does not find enough live players bots will be used in their place. This allows for not only a good way to practice, with the solo play, but also good medium and large matches.
