Vainglory is an abandoned mobile-origin MOBA that fans still remember fondly. Servers are community-run with few players, so skip it unless you want nostalgia or bot matches.
Great for
Nostalgic former mobile players who want to revisit it against bots or a few remaining players
Main risk
The game is abandoned: accounts wiped, no ranked, very few players, and the PC client may not run
