Vainglory, More Like Stop Feeding the Glaive

Nathaniel Schmuch, Staff Writer

Vainglory, The Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA, for Mobile is a game created to make mobile gaming competitive and awesome. And they have succeeded.
Overview
With Super Evil Megacorp just hosting the Vainglory World Championship just completed many people may be hearing more and more about this game. This game making company has just unveiled its new five versus five game mode, which very much hopes to crush the competition of the genre.

A MOBA is a genre of game in which a player’s goal is to kill the enemies base by destroying turrets down a lane or lanes. This is made a challenge through there being many neutral objectives and other players to stop you from completing this task.
Comparisons
Vainglory is the top of the mobile MOBA genre. The game is the the best game graphically and control wise. The game overall has a bigger skill ceiling more ability to make huge plays that affect the entire course of the game. In a game such as Mobile Legends Bang Bang, if a player dies repeatedly they will be completely useless for the rest of the game, will have no chance to do anything in the game, and their team with lose. In Vainglory if a player falls behind then they can still make plays and make their way back into the game with the help of their team.

If you want to only compare the user interface of Vainglory to other MOBAs for Mobile, yes some other games might have a better and more inviting than the dark and dreary boring user interface. The Vainglory interface is something that other games do better than Vainglory. but when you go into gameplay, then you find that Vainglory is a much better game. The graphics are far superior. The touch control scheme operates much better than the joystick most other games use, and allows for much more precision. This game also feels better to play. The controls are tighter the hitboxes on the in game models are clearer and make it so if you dodge something you actually dodge it.
Esports
Then there’s Esports. The competitive Vainglory has a much bigger Esports scene. They have leagues and a World Championship. While if you look for any game like Mobile Legends you will see that this game is much easier to find because it is a much bigger community. Esports are professional video games. This year at the World Championship held in Singapore, many different teams from different regions competed for the crown of world champion. There were twelve teams that competed for that title this year. This year was full of upsets with the three teams that were favored to win the entire competition, including the reigning world champions Rox Armada, were knocked out of the competition in the group stage on the first day. But moving on from that the other teams played their heart out and they played for the title with the ending result being Tribe Gaming from North America as the new world champion.
Conclusion
Overall Vainglory is a very good game. With the new five versus five mode coming out in February, I would very highly suggest that you and four other friends pick this game up for free and start practicing for five versus five. I give this game a 5/5 stars.
