5 Reasons Why Vainglory Is Getting Lonely And Less Interested By Players

Who doesn’t know the online Moba game called Vainglory, which was once victorious. This game was released in 2014 and then became famous since then until the beginning of 2017. After that, this game slowly began to lose the interest of the players and became increasingly quiet.

There are several factors or reasons why Vainglory is quiet, maybe also because of competition with other popular Moba games such as Mobile Legends, AOV, or League of Legends.

On this occasion, I will discuss the reasons Vainglory is getting quieter and less attractive to players. Just take a look at the following discussion so you will know why.

1. Lose Compete with Other Moba Games

As I mentioned above, one of the causes of Vainglory starting to lose players is because it can’t compete with other Moba games. Moba games such as Mobile Legends, AoV, League of Legends, and many others are increasingly making Vainglory’s popularity decline due to competition with these games.

In Indonesia itself, currently Mobile Legends has a large market in Indonesia, while other Moba including Vainglory are getting eliminated. Although it used to be a pioneer of multiplayer online battle arena on mobile platforms, Vainglory has not always been able to maintain its popularity.

2. Requires Smartphone Specifications That Are Quite Heavy

Vainglory itself if played requires smartphone specifications that are not potatoes but must be qualified. That’s because Vainglory presents high and good graphics than Moba games on other smartphones.

If this continues to happen and Super Evil Megacorp does not make it easy for mediocre smartphone users, aka potatoes, players will be left behind, especially low-spec cellphone users.

Just look at games like Mobile Legends or some other Moba smartphone games, they are very friendly to mediocre smartphone users and don’t impose heavy specifications. Even though good graphics are an advantage, it also requires higher specifications, so it’s directly proportional.

3. Game Controls Slightly Difficult

Maybe you already know that the controls of this game are somewhat different from other Moba, yes Vainglory uses tap-tap controls. The control is a bit difficult because gamers, especially from Indonesia, are used to using analog controls, these controls are much easier because they are very familiar.

Although in early 2019, the game developer has implemented analog controls in the Vainglory game, it seems that it has not succeeded in attracting many players. If only for the first time or at least as soon as possible to apply analog control, Vainglory might be familiar and played by many gamers.

4. The required storage is quite large

Good graphics and HD quality of the Vainglory game turns out to require very large storage. The storage required by the Vainglory game is 1.4 GB according to data from the Google Play Store, it is also quite large and may also increase for data resources or updates.

Compared to Mobile Legends, which is only 100 MB in size while AOV is around 500 MB, that’s what makes Vainglory less attractive and gamers prefer small storage games.

Most people definitely prefer games that only require small storage because it will save their memory than choosing large games because it will waste gadget storage.

5. Promotion and Marketing Are Not So Good

Various ways have been done by Super Evil Megacorp to promote the Vainglory game, but in fact it still has not produced results to get many players. Maybe this happened because of their promotion and marketing mistakes, for example when several Moba games began to aggressively promote each in various places such as social media or through advertisers.

Vainglory instead took care of other things and shifted funding to cross-platform projects, as a result they failed to get a lot of players. Actually, it’s not too late for Vainglory to start intensifying the game again to make it as successful as it used to be, but it must be with a good and well-planned marketing strategy.

Yes, it looks like that’s all this article discusses about 5 reasons why Vainglory is getting quieter and less attractive to players. Hopefully this game will be as successful as it used to be because we know that this game prioritizes quality so it is very good even though there are indeed some shortcomings that must be corrected by the developer.
