For those that may not know, Vainglory is a MOBA built from the ground just for touch screen devices. In Vainglory, two teams of three players each go head-to-head in real-time battles. Each player controls a single hero and must formulate a strategy with their team members to shatter a giant crystal, known as the Vain, located in the center of the enemy team’s base. Those who play MOBAs for desktop should certainly consider giving Vainglory a chance, as it’s probably the best one available for iOS right now.
