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.
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.

Cons
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.
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.
