Vainglory | The MOBA Perfected for Alternate Input Devices
Have you ever thought about how Vainglory would feel, played on a desktop like setup, with a keyboard and mouse? I’m sure a couple of you have tried with Bluestacks. Now, however, you won’t need to try so hard. SEMC is introducing Samsung Dex support in collaboration with Samsung, allowing you to do exactly that! Do note that this is not allowed for competitive play to remove any chance of gaining an unfair advantage.
