Pro Cross platform Android and iOS support
Vainglory is available for Android devices through the Google Play Store, and the App Store for iOS tablets and phones. Users on both platforms are able to play together.
Cons
Con Endgame is too tedious
Once all things in game are unlocked it can take up to ten minutes to clear out ones to-do list in the game, which is too long of a time to spend just to get started on other things in a mobile game. Mobile games are best in small pieces of time, but once the player has to spend too much time on tedious tasks just to accomplish anything else in the game it is just too much time to spend at that point and looses its appeal.
Con Never stops nagging the user
OS notifications, in game notifications, constant asking to send messages to ones Facebook friends, basically a barrage of nagging in order to propel the game into everyone's life.
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.
Con Playing as a team in person is a huge advantage
Due to how difficult it is to communicate with other online team members the easiest method to get that communication working is to just play together in person. Of course this gives an advantage to those that do so.
