Congrats, buddy! You just went out and downloaded Vainglory! Are you ready to spend 3 hours a day playing it? Well you should be! VG is addicting. Very, very, very addicting. It is quite possibly one of the best MOBAs in existence, and is genuinely the best MOBA for iOS/Android devices. However, when playing, there are a few things you must know. I've graciously listed them below.

1. Don't be an asshole.

This is listed as number one for a very good reason. If you die, and you blame it on your teammate, that doesn't help anyone. Don't verbalize this opinion. NEVER spam the question mark ping. It really isn't helping anything. The only thing it accomplishes is that it will make your teammates very mad. And that can only end badly.

2. Don't leave unless you have to.

This is something that annoys a large amount of players. Don't leave a match if your teammates are playing poorly. Do leave a match if you have to go to your mom's funeral. This is very basic video game etiquette. Try not to even start a match if you may have to leave in the near future.

3. Don't instalock.

Instalockers are bad. If you're new, you probably don't know what that means. An instalocker is any person who immediately selects a hero before waiting for other players to 'soft lock', or hover over a hero. These players will often times prevent you from forming a good team, and are a general pain. Don't be one of these guys.

4. Do friend other players.

One of the best ways to enjoy your VG experience is to friend players who are better than yourself. If you find yourself in a situation where a teammate is incredible, friend him/her, play games with him/her, and learn from him/her. This is one of the best ways to improve.

5. do click that Thumbs-Up button.

If your opponents played honorably, without leaving or game throwing, then honor them with a thumbs-up. This is just a nice thing to do.

Well, to all you new VG players, I wish you luck through your journeys in the Halcyon Fold!
