What is Reddit's opinion of
Vainglory?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
So my complaints are on how the ticket was advertised. The ticket was said to be obtainable from Chest or from pre-registering.
Directly from the news post, "No matter what methods you choose, finding a Golden Ticket will be a rare, special occurrence, so if you succeed, count yourself lucky and congratulations!"
By saying the Golden Ticket is available from Pre-registering, daily chest, and holiday-themed boxes, you're saying the Golden Ticket is a rare item ONLY from these in-game items. The item was advertised incorrectly and everyone who has spent money trying to get the ticket in the weeks past are out of luck.
Here is a picture of how to obtain the Golden Ticket: https://gyazo.com/0e40278f8fcea548e45ccc84444a7972
Here is the news post about the Golden Ticket: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/do-you-have-a-golden-ticket/
I think we should also plug the PC port that has an alpha build available for download right now. Aside from the expected early alpha bugs and hitches, it's the exact same game but with a bigger screen and (arguably) better controls. It even uses the same account, so I got to hop right back in with all the heroes I had unlocked years ago on my phone.
- Cross-platform play with PC/Mac
- Early alpha for PC/Mac has already begun - https://www.vainglorygame.com/crossplatform
- New hero coming in 3.6, Silvernail
- Peek at new hero in 3.7, Yates
- Stay as party button, party invite codes
Edit: Megathread here
Haha guys -- it's a new character. Finally they're dropping the leaks. OK -- next character literally has to be Kinetic!!! I'm hyped -- I wonder what she will do -- for those who don't know who or what Kinetic is go read the 3 part Lore ( so far) series Road to Rebellion
Edit: Link's to potential Kinetic Lore Pieces: part 1 https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/world-vainglory-treachery/
part 2 https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/road-rebellion-part-two-hacker/
part 3 https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/road-rebellion-part-three-something-return/
Kinetic is in control of New Aullerium, the State that controls Kensei.
Was a limited edition skin in 2015, patch 1.13 and an Ice only (1499 I believe) purchase for 40 (or so) days only.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/reim-update-1-13-notes-winter-chills/
The only of the original limited edition skins I spend money on and now have. (Oh and then there is that funny, garish Rona limited edition skin which everybody got for playing one game per day a month long or something like that - funnily enough just a little while later the first number of “active players” was released 😉 )
They then brought back recoloured limited edition skins as “special edition” releases, to monetise the designs.
Actually, they wanted to bring back the original colours initially, which resulted in one of the biggest community shitstorm ever, as the LE skins were advertised as “limited time only and never again”.
Meh.
Heroes I'd rather see new skins for: Baptiste, Ozo, Ringo, Glaive, Flicker, Baron, Idris, and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SEMC, finish the Dynasties Blackfeather series (and yes, the original announcement does refer to it as a series).
“Instead of purchasing, you’ll need to earn these fresh and shiny new skins by competing in reoccurring events. In many instances, you’ll be able to get them without spending a dime!” -Vainglory
Is this the kind of event you are referring too? This is not a free event... the only players who this is convenient for are those who spend money or those who dont level up talents (which is probably not many players).
This seems like a grab for more purchases. Please stop. I imagine if this continues part of the player base will become more and more frustrated.
Not sure if real question or sarcastic. Anyway, it used to, and it was pretty great, but it was one of the things to go first when they started cutting costs. That, and seasonal maps. SugarVenom used to write the lore, but they reduced her role, and she eventually left.
You can check out the lore here. Some of the pretty iconic ones are Ardan, Celeste and Vox's, Blackfeather and Malene's, or Adagio and Lorelai's.
I do, I do!
"My code of honor prevents me from slapping you."
Just kidding.
>“He taught me to wield the lance and shield and live by the knightly tenets of justice, courage, mercy, decorum, honesty, honor, loyalty and character.” A beatific light shone in Lance’s eyes. “And he told me about the city’s rich history of music and passion, enough beauty to inebriate the soul.”
Very unlikely.
Remember this https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/share-apples-unleash-ad-ft-vainglory-to-unlock-prizes/ ?
The video only has 8.2 million views, meaning we would not get even the first reward.
One of the other rewards is a Double Sunlight weekend, so, that was supposed to be the boost before the End of Season.
We might get the Rewards 'if' there's no actual time limit for the view count to hit the mile stone goals. But that will have to be for next Season.
TL;DR - No, we would not get Double Sunlight days because they decide to bank on the number of views of this ad that has 33% dislike :/
Please know it's a very very early alpha release. Not a finished game. We just want to get it into your hands and help us make it awesome!
Follow the links and there are pages to see (1) what we're working on, (2) file bug reports and feature requests and a link to our Discord
I always must preface these answers with the caveat that there is no Russia or Korea or Earth countries in the Vainglory universe, but we do take inspiration from them.
Deathless Reim was indeed inspired originally by Koschei the Deathless.
Tony's dogtags come from his time in the Winter War. Some info in Varya's story Thundersnow.
>The Secret City was silent, muted by falling snow. Varya walked down an empty road between looming barracks, watchtowers, and tall, wide chimneys from which billowed thick smoke. The war between the two mage princes of the Sleeping Land had played out for fifty years, had spanned thousands of bitter cold miles, had eradicated dozens of nomadic tribes. In the Book of Futures, the Worldseer had seen the victory of Prince Aleksandr, but not for another fifty bloody years.
Anybody remember the 1.4.0 patch notes?
>REFLEX BLOCK >“Reflex Block was too spammable and too easy of a counter against too many ultimates. Now, you must choose between blocking important initiation abilities at the beginning of fights at the expense of barrier — or save it for the end to mitigate massive amounts of damage (but after major spells have been used). The shortened duration also makes it less effective to blindly spam Reflex Block regardless of intelligent timing against incoming damage.” —>SurpriseBirthday > >Barrier changed from 200 health to 20% of missing health. >Duration down from 1.5 to 1.0s. >

Err ... wasn't it that he gave her oranges in return for dragon eggs from the ocean?
Doesn't seem like it's a romance at first But if you reread the lore with that in mind the story is kinda sweet.

My frustration is that I dont think this helps the game at all. If a player plays Bot Matches to get to level 50, why does it matter to SEMC? They are still an active user, and the rewards they get from hitting 50 encourage them to keep playing next season.
More than anything I think this is a sad, scapegoat, way of making sunlight harder to earn right before they implement the ability to buy sunlight levels next season. SEMC, with this move, is following the money, but disregarding a valuable part of their player-base.
They didn't mention this before.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-3-6-silvernail/
It was announced after the update dropped. Do you think this is fair? It's an emote you'll/I never get now.
This is absolutely Bullshit by SEMC.
Your tone is obnoxiously critical. You know, they published the drop rates. When you open your free chest/rare/epic, you can simply click to see the following page:
https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/
And no, lootboxes won't be banned. Releasing drop rates will just become a requirement as it already is in parts of Asia.
I understand being careful with your money but they aren't villains for needing money to survive off of a FREE game. Of course they need money, dude. I want them to make money. I like their game and I hope it does well. Heck, everything down to the ads is optional. The whole experience is free if you want.
Edit: Re-adding my previous fun fact.
Fun fact, there's 0.0002% chance of pulling 1,000,000 Opals from a rare or epic chest. So low that I thought nobody would ever get it but apparently I was wrong haha. That's nuts.
This is the link to the article speaking on the subject. https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/coming-soon-new-end-season-rewards/
At level 50 sunlight, you get:
- 3000 glory
- 500 essence
- 20 opals
- 2 epic keys
- 6 blueprint chests
- 2 epic talent chests
Overall, very good. Edit: if you can, try as hard as possible to get to level 50, the rewards get exponentially better than level 49

Rare skin ^
She basically has 7 skins now. Really smec?
This would have been better spent on baptiste and a skinless hero.
They have removed talent coins from the normal mystery chests. It was in the patch notes, first thing under "Market Changes" Notes: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-2-6-notes-suit-up-as-grace-communicate-more-effectively/
More about Maza and the struggle for power in Taizen Gate is coming soon.
Everything you need to know (so far) about Kinetic (though more is coming!) is here.
Just a quick follow up for those asking for information about the preseason:
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/north-american-vpl-preseason-invitational-teams-announcement/
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/european-vpl-preseason-invitational-teams-announcement/
This is sort of the Lore:
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/epic-elbow-dropping-cagefighter-ardan-coming-soon/
I’m ok with /u/sugarvenomsemc and /u/playoffbeard being part of the alt-lore.
The bigger question is, who is Meat Truck? I’d love to see a wrestler version of Ozo, but I doubt it’s him.
Edit: it looks like it’s literally a truck that Ardan is fighting.
So Lyra and Reza's were lovers, but Lora prohibited their marriage because she wanted Reza for herself to have a strong mage born child. She send out Lyra to the colony of Trostan where she then had to raise Samuel. But after the confrontation between Lora and Samuel she came back because she knows where Samuel is heading. So that's how Samuel, Lyra, Grace, Reza made it to the fold I guess?
Here is the source for Lyra's backstory though:
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/lyra-lore-ii-the-first-mistake/
Lance finds gythian armor and wants to uphold gythian knight ideals. He travels with Samuel to Gythia, promising to protect him. Samuel does some weird shit, and Lance gets caught up in the Samuel / Lyra / Lora / Reim drama.
Lance then goes off on his own and meets up with Grace, who formally makes him a gythian knight.
In alt-lore, when Samuel does his weird shit, and Lance goes into the nether-world portal opened by Samuel. He becomes Nether-knight Lance.
Not sure, it was a long time ago. But it's the patch where they did a massive update on 3v3
Found it it's this one
[NEW] Grants the killer Sentry’s Might for 90s
Deal 15% more damage
Take 20% less damage
Nearby enemies are slowed by 25%
Everyone who had a Charms Pass active before Update 3.6 went live, kept the Kissy Emote for free permanently.
Per this source your chance of a legendary skin on a normal rare chest is 2.45% so this boosts it to 7.35%.
-
Therefore you would on average need to spent 2707 ICE to obtain a legendary skin. Most legendary skins are priced at 3599 ICE. Considering that you'll also get glory, opals and essence from those chests that could be a good deal for you, provided that you don't already own many legendary skins.
-
For myself, I own 16/28 legendary skins, so I have a 16 in 28 chance of getting a dupe, increasing the average spend to obtain a legendary skin for me from 2707 ICE to 6317 (multiply by a factor of 28/12 because I have 12 legendary skins to obtain) and suddenly the offer doesn't look so good.
The chat system has always had problems since 2014, but none so frequent and crippling as it has been for the past year. The new 5v5 UI nobody asked for is the culprit of this pain in the ass of a chat that doesn’t work half the time, terrible time stamp formatting, missing notifications, erratic scrolling behaviour, you-name-it etc.
It’s frustrating when you have no way to tell if your chat is working or if everyone is being silent in a match. This issue has got to be the most-reported bug ever yet SEMC has done nothing to address it. It’s not even mentioned in their recent article about how they tackle bugs! What a joke.
We all know the game has been on the decline for a long time now. SEMC’s continued neglect towards these bugs is a validation of that fact. Their announcement of making a new game also hammers home the same fact. They clearly lack the capacity to handle just one game but now they’re dividing their resources for two. One can imagine how this will affect Vainglory.
The community used to be vibrant and always looked forward to new content that are well-teased and hyped up. Those were the prime days. Now it feels like we are just hoping that things stop breaking with each new update. SEMC has set the bar really low for themselves. What a sad game Vainglory has become.
Stop rewarding SEMC for their incompetence. Stop buying ICE until they make actual positive changes to the game.
For a F2P player tp reach Lv 100, they will have to just keep playing constantly.
Aside from that, other ways of collecting more Sunlight are:
- Opening the Daily Chests every 6 hour without fail.
- Playing one game, no matter game mode; each day to get the 250 Sunlight.
I have to inform you that skins do not boost Sunlight gains anymore.
Link to related article: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/3-9-winter-battle-pass-staying-lit/
I think that option will be available upon next patch.
Just a request form a long time player: Now a days you guys just show us the splash art of most skins, it's very difficult to get the game play of skins online (in the coming soon period). For example if you search fury taka in YouTube now, there is just one video it is one match played at 2x/5x speed I can't see the skin properly. There are 0 videos of Summer party Fortress. I just feel like it should be more like this where you guys showed us how the in game model look like. But again I can just wait for a or two week to see it myself in practice mode.
Hi! Search by hero here. All the lore you need for each hero, including other heroes appearing in their stories, are on that page. For example, Ardan, Celeste, and Vox all have the same lore on their pages (except for skin lore).
If you have any questions, ping me and I’ll help.
1: Short answer: No
1: Longer answer:
No, and that is actually one of the advantages of barrier over fortified health. Say you have 1000 health and 500 barrier then take 500 damage. You now have 1000 health. However say you have 1000 health, of which 500 is fortified. If you take 500 damage, that gets reduced to 250 so you now have 750 total health of which 250 is fortified. Okay so you have effectively 1000 normal HP now right? Yes, unless that fortified health expires, so barrier is strictly better when you look at it like that.
Furthermore, if you had only 100 health, you can gain 500 barrier, but you can't fortify 500 health when you have only 100 to begin with. Another advantage for barrier.
Fortified health is nice though because as it reduces damage taken, you'll hinder enemies who are stacking breaking point or using life steal.
2: Short answer: Yes.
2: Longer answer:
Fortified health is a little different to barrier. Barrier is added onto the end of your health bar and just functions as additional health. Fortified health on the other hand makes you take 50% damage while you’re on fortified health. So yes they use your armour/shield values, so long as you treat fortified health as taking 50% damage. Alternatively you could think of fortified health as adding on 100 + your current armour or shield, same effect, but a little harder to get your head around.
3: Okay so, I’ve never personally tested this, but I’m am pretty certain that the defence values used are those of the target hero. In the case of fortified health which was introduced in 1.13 with Reim, you can find the explanation here which says in no uncertain terms that fortified health just gives you 50% damage reduction: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/reim-update-1-13-notes-winter-chills/
Golden Tickets that give players early access to 5v5 (more info here). There's quite a resemblance between those and Willy Wonka's (fictional?) Golden Tickets to the Chocolate Factory.
Note: Guild payouts are for Members only (not Initiates), so be sure that you’ve progressed far enough in your guild to receive payouts.
This is really old, but I'm pretty sure it still applies. https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/autumn-season-payouts/
I feel as if everyone has gotten confused by this. This is false. If you have read Grace's first lore, you will know that the guy that is covered in bandages is actually their guide to meeting Titus. He is covered in bandages because Titus burned him as Titus can not control his fire. Titus is in the background waiting at the gate. He is the fire spirit like being. http://i.imgur.com/pzUg2bn.jpg The image is from the first lore. Read it, if you haven't already, or you just don't remember the details. https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-lore-grace/
Chill son, and do some research before you flip out at folks trying to be helpful.
Current Grace is different from other captains. FlashX discovered that Grace with a weapon blade has a tremendous ability to bully early game, and it's now her preferred first item (for this meta.) You sell it later on once you start needing the extra space.
And regarding building CP on Captain Grace:
"It is a good idea to buy some crystal power on Grace, even when played as a Captain, because it strengthens the power of her holy shields as well as her passive damage reduction."
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/grace-abilities-splash-art-reveal/
It's been replaced with what we hope is a much more effective quick-message system where you can tell your teammates a lot more than before https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=7lJ5mtc9XEQ See the patch notes
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-2-6-notes-suit-up-as-grace-communicate-more-effectively/
The chance rates can be googled easily And im sure many have won it. They just dont post it on social media. Maybe only brag about it to their friends
To quote:
" WHY THE REVAMP
New and longtime players have consistently told us that the tiered, card-based skins system is too muddled, difficult to navigate and requires painfully repetitive behavior, like individually destroying hundreds of cards for Essence. In addition, the card system bogged down loot drops with undesirable commons and created UI clutter.
The revamp unifies two largely disconnected systems, clearing up all the related confusion."

OP posted a screenshot of a web page that explains and details the end of season rewards players will receive. OP’s post may be confusing because it’s a partial screenshot of the website where all the pertinent information actually lives.

Sure is! it's super recent https://www.vainglorygame.com/crossplatform/
I'm having a great time. I feel like I have a huge advantage over all these mobile players because of my familiarity with mouse and keyboard, and I can continue to play on my phone when I'm travelling.
Another thing that's great about vainglory is they have an API, so you can get all the stats you are used to getting from league's www.op.gg. Vainglory's equivalent is https://vgpro.gg/
It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

The sagittarii are just Gythia’s elite archers, as you can read it in the part six of the lore: The battle begins. Lyra is a battlemage.
A minor nitpick: as of patch 2.12, Poisoned Shiv applies mortal wounds with every second basic attack, not every third.
Please don't die, I like you very much. But yes, I laughed out loud at my desk when I wrote that, and Ciderhelm probably thought I was insane. Blackfeather, Phinn, & Malene actually surprise me while I write.
Edit: Yes, Malene should have all the Skaarves, but we know that there are lots of dragon colors out there.
You've listed a few things from your other tweet which you want SEMC to explain.
> Communication
Do you mean communication between SEMC and the playerbase? In-game communication? Party and friend chat? It's not clear at all.
Dev-community interaction, or lack thereof, has been addressed by FooJee in his recent Reddit post and the Discord AMA was an attempt to improve that.
SEMC has started before that they will be working on all the other types of in-game communication in this post.
> Bugs
They have stated here that they will be working on bugs, among other things, so not sure what you're worried about.
> Matchmaking and Ranked Elo gains and losses
This has been covered to death by SEMC in a series of Reddit posts, tweets, and the Discord AMA. If you're complaining based on anecdotal evidence, note that API sites show 3v3 rank and not 5v5, which may explain some of the seemingly uneven matchups.
> number of heroes
Yes, new heroes are good. Again, not sure what more you want to be said on the matter. They F d covered this topic everywhere. Check links above and the Discord AMA.
It hasn't been granted yet! The "enter email thing" you mentioned was for a chance to be selected in a lucky draw. it is not a guarantee. But doing so would guarantee a "founding 5v5" badge if you follow the instructions in the email, which is a completely different thing. Source: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/do-you-have-a-golden-ticket/
Alternatively, you can get the Golden Tickets from skin chests, and I've done the calculations for getting a Golden Ticket from therein another subreddit:P https://www.reddit.com/r/vainglorygame/comments/7m0drd/what_we_really_want_this_christmas/drqpesg/?context=2
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-2-9-churnwalker-notes-new-items-crystal-rework/
The availibility schedule for the SE lyra skins mentioned that the skins would be available for opals during the next patch so I'm not sure why you would say that.
When it initially came out, people wasted their saved glory in huge amounts on it.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/
But now everyone knows how bad the drop rate is, so everyone has stopped spending on it and are waiting for it to be changed in some way.
I couldn't remember off-hand, but googled "sparkler skaarf release" for the announcement: (https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/celebrate-with-five-special-edition-sparkler-skaarf-skins/)
Each (except gold) was 3599 ICE, then there were two-color bundles for 4599 ICE (but I don't remember which colors were paired together), or you could buy the gold (plus other four) for 4999.
I seriously thought Elite Idris was going to be a Shatterglass skin, considering the lore. I wonder if the Shatterglass theme was scrapped after all of the criticism the Sorrowblade Glaive skin got.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-community-edition
Vainglory is currently in a transitional phase right now, so it will be a while before everything goes back to normal. For now, your account won't be accessible but in a few months or so you can reupload everything back to your device.
I suggest you read the article I linked above.
Can someone help me? I uninstalled previous version (from Google Play Store), because this one crashed once starting the game, then installed again from APK, and I remember from the page https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-community-edition
"We are making the game “client authoritative” meaning that instead of everything being handled by expensive servers, your handle and matchmaking information will be stored on your device. This means that if you uninstall and reinstall, you will lose that information. "
So, idk if my previous data from Google is lost.
I don't know much myself, but Vainglory is now in the hands of the community.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-community-edition
you don't have any idea what the hell happens here !
​
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-community-edition
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-community-edition
Hold your horses there. First comes the community servers, then will they even consider letting modders do as they please with the game.
Even then we don't know how easy it is to mod E.V.I.L when compared to something like Source. If a start-up couldn't even code the game properly, a bunch of script kiddies won't even smell a chance.
Yes, you can download it from here. Keep in mind that it is one of the first builds so there are bugs.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/crossplatform/
Yes. It is still perfected for touch, but quoting a dev:
"It still is every bit as perfected for touch. 4 years of tuning and tweaking. Now we just need to put an equal amount of polish in to perfecting it for mouse and keyboard as well. We never considered ourselves a "mobile games only" studio. We want to make games for all gamers, wherever they play and on which ever device they prefer"
Just wanted to say out of all the trello boards I've seen this one has the coolest background lol. Edit: I found the link if anyone wants to save it or something. Did I mention that this image is really cool? https://www.vainglorygame.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Collage06-1.jpg
Fact of the matter is spending 199 ice is better then buying a gold chest this is so pointless and stupid lol. The only thing Gold chest got on rare chest is that their is a 20% chance of getting a skin that is exclusively from the new update but then there's a 75% chance of getting rare so it's not likely you'll get anything good. Here are the statistics for anyone in the loss https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/
Found it: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/announcing-vainglorys-creator-program-and-the-spar-system/
If you have 5000 followers you get “content creator dashes”. Those are the hyphens you see around some people’s names.
I mean if you have high season level already, yes it is worth it. But it is definitely too late to start grinding anymore. Have a look at the rewards yourself and decide based on that: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/introducing-vainglory-battle-pass/
They put up an addition to the end of the BF Lore, there they meet a forest witch, she gives them the feather in exchange for Malene's mirror.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-lore-malene/
At the witches place BF traded her mirror to the witch for a seraphim's feather to tickle Malene awake, and then when she wakes up the witch reveals Malene's parents paid her (ages ago) to trap her magic/dark/angry self in a mirror and the witch released it and now the 'two' Malene's are back together but when Malene woke up she fell in love with BF and demanded they get married but in order to get what Malene wants which is a royal wedding she needs to make BF a royal but in order to do that she has to be more royaler and the witch gave her the idea that she could do it if she was Queen of the Eventides so now she wants to defeat the Storm Queen and has taken BF and Phinn in her party to obtain a powerful mage and "a dragon or two" so they can storm the Storm Queen.
All we've got is this post which gives the 3 methods as:
- Pre-registering your email
- Quest chests
- Holiday-themed boxes
I suppose they never explicitly said that those 6 hour chests and season chests won't give it, but if I had to wager one way or the other I'd say they won't give it.
I'm looking forward to it! Blackfeather and Phinn never fail to make me happy. I wrote this story on a bad day and it cheered me right up.
Go to this Page and scroll down to 'how to get the skin'. There should be detailed instructions there.
u/Nirheim calculated the probability. Using that chest you have a 4% chance to obtain a legendary skin.
This is due to the fact, that the initial drop rates are already so low (https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/) and, even if the "skin" category is rolled over "hero", there is still only a 7% (21% tripled) chance of it being Legendary.
So, yes, it's another marketing trick and not really a deal. Isn't SEMC a great and user friendly company full of transparency?
If it isnt on the vainglorygame website (2.10 patchnotes or reveal page) it probably doesnt exist
Here is the reveal page btw: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/brilliance-epic-dr-franken-flicker/
Yea, most ability damage will trigger it. The 2.9 patch notes explain it a little, but they don't give an exhaustive list.
Of the ones they mention a few aren't quite so obvious:
- Petal's seeds don't trigger it if someone walks into them.
- Catherine's bubble apparently triggers, but is that the burn damage or the deflect damage? Not that this will be relevant in any serious game... I hope.
- Only the first hit from Grumpjaw's Hangry triggers it, the subsequent attacks don't.
Seems that to be sure you just have to test it.
Yet, SEMC already wrote exceptions for other characters. Not sure if all these are outdated, but from SEMC's page, Skaarf's perk description excepts turrets from damage and indicates reduced Kraken damage. Baptiste's A and C abilities do reduced damage to minions. Ozo's B has reduced crystal scaling against minions. Kestrel's C does reduced damage to non-heroes. Baron's perk does reduced damage to lane minions.

Here’s the current state and hopeful future of Vainglory: CE. It will be a long process before the game is where everyone wants it to be. Please give this a read if you haven’t already.
Seems like you didn't get it, the whole "stage 1a-c, 2, 3, 4, 5" thing count only for the CE ( =community edition ), so for all players outside of China.
Players in China just get, or got already, another publisher.

They doesn't shut down the servers, at least not yet...
To shut down the servers is part of stage3, but stage2 is already about introduction the community servers.
So nothing with... > you won't be able to play.

STAGE 4 – RE-IMPORTING YOUR OLD VAINGLORY PROFILE
- Target timing: to-be-confirmed
We know progress is important and our games’ history is meaningful. In Stage 4 we attempt to make it possible for you to re-import all your old trophies, progress, LE skins etc.
If you haven't checked it out already, Excoundrel posted two videos on the issue. Here are the links to those videos.
Vainglory - Servers shutting down and SEMC stepping back in? | [What Happened?!]
And here is a separate link on how SEMC plans to move forward with the game.
There's some overlap in your questions so I've likely grouped some together in the responses:
Premium currency will be removed from the game as all heroes and skins are unlocked for everyone.
We love NetEase as a partner and we have considered options like this. The decision to get more involved with the game is probably better posed to NetEase.
Historical profiles will be archived and re-importable to your client in Stage 4 of our roadmap.
We do not yet have anything to announce regarding Spellfire. We certainly appreciate your support and look forward to sharing the Spellfire experience with you as well!
We are not yet sure when / if, separate balancing will become available. We do not expect it to be in the best interest of community server providers to overly change the game unless the community is clamoring for it. Even in these cases, you will likely be able to find a play experience that matches classic VG.
You should be able to re-import your historical profile (once we get to Stage 4) should you lose it along the way. If you get a new phone you can transfer data from one to the other, as well.
We're looking at implementing a code based party system in the near future. You can find that outlined in the roadmap here.
We don't currently have intentions to share assets. The game client will be available for download. We are working on making it possible to host and configure servers through a managed hosting provider. The likelihood of adding new content is low given how the game is built.
In the near term you will not see hero balance changes, and you will see what will look like a lot more bugs. As per our published roadmap, we will attempt to fix many of these bugs in the next few weeks to stabilize the experience.
Our hope is to, in the long term, be able enable community servers to do their own hero balancing. However, given how the game is built we think it's very unlikely it would be possible for entirely new content to be built by the community. But we've learned to never say never. Our team's priority remains Spellfire for the foreseeable future, however.
In terms of compensation, we will be unlocking all content in the game for everyone going forward. Likewise, you are certainly entitled to pursue refund pathways for purchases you feel warrant that action.
The community will be handling the matchmaking and server infrastructure for the game going forward. Here's a full rundown of the plan.
Adding content to the game will be highly unlikely for the community. Changing balance and utilizing statistics etc. are much more on target for us.
This is our current plan. We will be refactoring the client to support community hosted server solutions. Anyone interested in getting involved on the server solution side should feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
When we release the new CE client, if you delete the app and reinstall it will reset your profile. You will be able to import your historical profile during Stage 4 listed in the blog.
Basically a few days back Rogue games suddenly cut the support for Vainglory and gone 'rogue', SEMC was working to transfer the game back to their servers and said that they would provide an update.
Abt 12 hours ago they released it; SEMC's new plan is to let the community run the game and host our own servers. They have stopped all in app purchases and effectively is stripping the game's features down to its core as it costs a lot of money for them to keep running the servers (party and friend system would all be dead). They would then slowly transfer some of the games assets over to community run servers, but that would take awhile for them to implement it. Their idea to do this is so that the game would eternally run forever as long as there are dedicated communities playing Vainglory.

try to do the quest, i think i got most of my blueprint from there (and the now defunct battle pass)
apparently these past 2 or 3 seasons the drop rate of blueprint and skin has been reduced despite the dev didn't post a new official drop rate data like this
Tony probably came from the Secret City (Thundersnow)
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-lore-varya/
Ylva and Yates came from the continent south of Gythia I think, near where Ardan moved to, near where Inara was from. I went to link that lore story and realized it never was finished and published. My memory is terrible :)
The Summer Queen was the Storm Queen's mother, and she's dead.
SEMC has heroes in the damn pipe for years. You think when Jobs died Cook built the next iPhone? It was years later till they basically had exhausted all the stuff Jobs was working on well after his death.
And SEMC are actually working on VG. Only a select few, and in a limited capacity. Read the damn deal: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-is-going-rogue/
They "partnered" with SEMC. They didn't buy the damn IP outright.
Omnyoji arena (more specifically Onmyoji since arena is a spin off) is “heavily steeped in the Heian period of classical Japanese history”. Onmyoji wiki
Karas’ brief lore in the patch notes says “From a magical aerie high above The Rise”. Vg 4.10 patch notes
These two contradict each other as Japan is not in the sky.

I understand that not all crossovers and designs are the same. At the same time, there’s gotta be some resemblance in the character design even i the art design has to be changed. I like this example of wildly different art style, but still recognize-able characters
>The uh, CEO of SEMC, daddy Kristian himself, admitted that uh, since 18 months ago, they uh... stopped putting in that much effort into VG.
That's just a laughably incorrect lie. He said no such thing in the articles you linked. Rather, since SEMC has started another project (which they announced they had been working on six months ago) you made the assumption that they have abandoned Vainglory, which is also just blatantly wrong. There have been new heroes and new skins continuously being released each patch, and updates have been released at the same frequency as ever. Putting words into Segerstrale's mouth to try and incite this community into being upset and resentful is simply malicious. Your entire post is full of unsubstantiated claims and ridiculous assumptions and provides nothing of value except to try to demonize SEMC.
Here are a few options:
Try reinstalling Steam + Vainglory
or download VG Client from here: https://www.vainglorygame.com/quick-guide-install-vg-alpha-windows/
Try chaning your screen resolution for more fps, i used to have a bad pc too and found out that if i lower my resolution 1024x768, i had more fps ingame.
If VG still doesnt load up, download BlueStacks and install VG on there.
Corsair Krul... weird i can’t see it in game now but looking it up in the release video where they demonstrate the skin you can see the pistol and cannon they gave him as well as them listing them both as flintlock pistol and ship’s cannon.
https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/corsair-krul-arrives-in-a-special-mystery-chest/
Thought I was crazy for a moment
I think SEMC is still transitioning from being VG’s major eSports host to a fully dedicated development team. Give them time; I’m sure updates will keep coming!
The drop rate page specifically says of skins and hero drops in the Gold chest that it’s only new skins and newest hero. The chests don’t line up with your published drop rates.
Sure MMR does hold true, but if I go low enough, I will match with different people.
Also I found this on the vainglory website, which does back up your MMR claim. But its from nearly 3 years ago so idk how accurate it is now.
This is our best clue!
