Vainglory Empowerment

Note the URL actually includes the word “empower”. Ardan looks ready for battle. Celeste? Empowered, sure.

Now, to be fair… I kind of want to believe the use of “empower” is trolling, just because of where it actually appears on the page.

But this is Vainglory we’re talking about so I think my desire to believe is probably wandering deep into Fox Mulder territory.  I also can’t help but notice the list of “what’s new” for Ardan and Celeste are… a little different somehow.

Apparently her hair being pretty was a high priority…

As previously mentioned, Vainglory is a baffling game.  However there are few design decisions ever made that are as baffling as the choice to set up dagger blade high heels on someone who’s shoes don’t have soles and who jumps from branch to branch.

Why not just save time and stab yourself in the foot?

Look, I know every MassiveMultiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game wants to be League of Legends for purely artistic reasons, known as money, but I really don’t think the combination of sexy ladies, weird guys, weird (cuteish?) creatures and apparently randomly assigned slogans is actually what people are looking for.

(I can’t be the only one who thinks that the “crush opponents with your bare hands” should be replaced with something about “free hugs”)

People propose from time to time that we should offer advice on how they could improve… in this case I recommend try making your visuals actually communicate something worth buying.
