Review on steam from a pc moba player!check this out!

super late to this but I am a fairly experienced PC Moba player who started playing VG about 2 weeks ago both on mobile and on PC.

I recognize most of the weird quirks with the game are because its a mobile port but they could definitely do a few things to smooth out the PC experience. Mostly tooltips. Finding and reading tooltips is really inconsistent and it took a bit to get used to.

Ability tooltips? Just mouse over the ability like a normal PC moba! works great. Oh but wait, the passive isn't listed, you have to click a '?' button in the bottom right and a full screen overlay pops up that lists all of my abilities and passive. I don't see why I couldn't just have a small passive icon next to my abilities instead to make this more consistent, no real harm imo.

Item tooltips? Very hit or miss here. If an item is granting you a passive you can sometimes see the passive near the bottom left and mouse over it to read it. However, the icons that just show you what major items you have tell you nothing. To read your items you need to open the scoreboard (tab) and mouse over it from there. Again, since my major items are already showing somewhere on the mainscreen, I feel like it isn't a big deal to just add tooltips to them.

There is no way to tell what level you are from the main overlay, you need to be looking at your character to see this. Again, sounds like a stupid complaint but if they are going to bother with an XP bar, might as well show a level too.

And yea not being able to see specific mana and HP amounts can be annoying, especially on mana hungry characters. Being able to see Mana lets you make decisions about if an ability is worth while to use during certain situations. Example: " I have 150 mana left, if I use Ability A right now I will only have mana for either ability B or my ult but not both."

tl;dr - I REALLY enjoy vainglory but the PC game still feels very much like you took the mobile game and replaced you finger with a mouse, added edge scrolling and hotkeys and not much else. It just makes lots of small things a bit more of a chore on PC than they need to be. The gameplay is fucking great though.
