Vainglory FAQ

This article serves as a comprehensive reference for players seeking information about the current state of Vainglory. We will continue to update this article as needed. Have questions or feedback? Join us on Discord.

What happened to Vainglory?

Vainglory was not profitable. For a detailed explanation, watch former Vainglory analyst/caster Excoundrel’s video:

Additionally, Chamu’s video offers further insight into what went wrong:

Will Vainglory ever return?

SEMC is currently developing their new game, Catalyst Black (Project Spellfire). They plan to revisit Vainglory: Community Edition after Catalyst Black successfully launches. This announcement was made on 1 April 2020. We have been at stage 1B for over a year.

Why can’t I log in? Where is my account?

Most features have been removed from Vainglory to minimize operating costs. This includes accounts, chat, guilds, leaderboards, parties, ranks, skins, and talents. The game is now a barebones version. Your account data remains safe with SEMC but is currently inaccessible. We are unaware of SEMC’s specific plans for account access.

Can I play with my friends? How?

Yes. On 18 March 2021, Vainglory developer Loquori implemented a server-side patch that significantly simplified joining the same match or teaming up. This was a major improvement over the previous method of simultaneously queuing and hoping to be matched together. This party workaround led to a surge of returning players. To learn about the new matchmaking system, please refer to our Play Together guide.

Can I play on PC or Mac?

Vainglory is compatible with Android, iOS/iPadOS, and Windows (PC). The Mac version is no longer functional. Please note that the Windows client has never exited beta and may be buggy. While some players report flawless performance, your experience may vary.

Where can I download Vainglory?

Please refer to our Download Vainglory page, where download links for various versions of Vainglory are provided.

Can I use skins?

Yes. Skins are currently not usable in the latest version of Vainglory due to a bug. However, you can download a previous version of Vainglory from our Download Vainglory page. The only drawback is that you will not be able to change your in-game name (IGN) in that version. To use both IGN and skins simultaneously, please consult our How To Use Skins guide.

Can I change region?

This is possible, but players have reported mixed results. The in-game dropdown menu for region selection is broken, but you can switch regions using a VPN. Set your VPN to the desired region and activate it before opening Vainglory. Your true Vainglory region is displayed at the upper right corner of your game profile (tap your IGN/username). Do not disable the VPN while playing. Expect suboptimal ping.

Is there still a Vainglory bot?

You can use Toothless to look up information for all heroes and items from patch 4.13 directly within Discord. The bot’s database is more accurate than the information presented in the game itself.

Where can I find more help and resources?
