What an odd analysis, and I basically entirely disagree.<p>I picked up Vainglory when I got my iPad Air 2 and have absolutely fallen in love with the game for almost ALL of the reasons that the author dismisses it.<p>Background:  I&#x27;m nowhere near a hardcore gamer and I never played LoL or DoTA, so I&#x27;m a newbie to MOBAs.<p>But I think Vainglory is fantastic. When I gush about it to friends, the two things I bring up are:<p>1) The game adapts to touch beautifully. I&#x27;ve always found that wildly clicking the mouse while scrolling with your other hand is awkward in these sorts of games. Being able to physically direct your character with your fingers gives the game a much more intimate feel.  You feel connected to the match.<p>2) The 20-30 minute play time is perfect!  So many PC games require this multi-hour-long commitment that I was never really able to give. But knowing I can sit down and play a full (exciting) Vainglory match in 20 minutes is easy. The pacing is perfect - you get to experience all stages of hero development from weak to strong in what I think most people would consider to be a very reasonable amount of time.<p>Anyway, I just think this guy is off-base.<p>(And if any HNers want to play some Vainglory with me &#x2F; form a team &#x2F; start a guild, let me know! :)
