Mar 13, 2018 7:56 pmI really love the hero tier lists in general. As a fairly ok player, its really helpful knowing which heroes are in the meta and which heroes are not so meta. The humour, design and puns are also really engaging and i always get hyped whenever a new hero tier list is realeased.

Feb 23, 2018 4:37 pmI will always remember Brerman’s first article on here: https://brokenmyth.net/to-catherine-from-ardan/
As a long-time Catherine main it felt like it was addressed to me.

Feb 23, 2018 2:47 pmI love captains, so anything that helps me learn support items is great!
https://brokenmyth.net/uncommon-effective-situational-items-captains/
But lately I’ve been enjoying all of the 5v5 articles and the hero roles one really helped me get a grasp of 5v5.

Feb 22, 2018 11:31 pmI think the article that really helped me most has to be https://brokenmyth.net/guide-vainglory-5v5-vision/
A couple of my friends got me to jumped into Vainglory just before the 5v5 launched. Reading this guide really helped me understand how to play 5v5 and the map at the very beginning has been incredibly helpful as I am just getting into jungling

Feb 19, 2018 4:37 pmI love the Hero build articles, & Celeste is my favorite! I’m still just barely beginning to learn the meta, but they’ve given me a good starting point for the game & I love it.

Feb 18, 2018 5:48 amOf course my favourite article is theishero counter guide
https://brokenmyth.net/vainglory-hero-countering-your-guide-to-winning-draft/
That article is what bring me here in the first time, and then I keep visit this page to look for something new.
Due the 5v5 update obviously I still trust this page to guide me and my teammates to play Vainglory. And my fovourite article in 5v5 is this early rotations guide.
https://brokenmyth.net/vainglory-5v5-early-rotations-jungle/
Thank you for your guide in the fold and also rise.

Feb 16, 2018 5:47 amKicking it oldskool, but this Krul article gave me the confidence to play my favorite hero at a time he was a potato! All of your articles back then took me from Pretty Good to Simply Amazing!
http://brokenmyth.net/a-walk-in-my-shoes/
The hero builds pages at that time were amazing also! At the time, there weren’t many high level contributors and you guys were awesome. I took a 13 month break from VG and came right back to where I started here.
You guys are awesome, keep up the great work!

This article allows me to understand the early rotations of The Rise in Jungle. By reading this it has improve my gameplay style mechanics two a whole different level of thinking and easier to setup ganks in The Rise. I Hope I can win this because I am a OG gamer that needs a little bit of love back since I dedicated a lot of my time to love this and see it change since from the beta stage of the game before it official name Kindred

I played LOL in college, but that ended with my PC. Finding Vainglory was fantastic, but the truth is that without this article, I would have never kept playing. It was there for me right as I was new and getting discouraged. I’m no pro, but I like to think that my play has greatly improved since.
Thank you to your whole team there!

I’ve always greatly enjoyed reading over the hero tier lists. Especially after this interesting graphic was implemented streamlining the readers ability to comprehend the meaning of the tier list. These lists have always been a benefactor in the community aiding under-experienced players and helping people understand how balances and changes make heroes rise up or fall. As well aiding in drafting strategy these tier lists have always been and will continue to be monumentally influential.

Feb 06, 2018 7:30 amhttp://brokenmyth.net/vainglory-stacks-explained/ was really helpful for me to understand how heroic perks actually worked in game. for instance, i was pretty ignorant about Catherine’s stacks until like a year ago and never understood why people we just using her to randomly stun heroes. kinda embarrassing for me but luckily broken myth was there to help deepen my understanding of the game. i have this article in my bookmarks to this day, hope it continues to be updated.

There are however a lot more favourites-The hero tier lists and the weekly news roundups.I also remember a really great interview with Zekent on game balancing.
Been reading BM for 2 years now.It’s great to see how the content and quality abd diversity of articles have always remained top notch over the years 🙂

I know it’s kind of a weird post but I remember this video so clearly from back when I watched it. Been playing Vainglory since 2014 and ShinKaigan & AdyEndrus used to be my favourite people to approach for VG tips (even on the subreddit! I wonder if you remember me shin) but yeah this video pushed me into trying melee heroes and I have been trying to get better on them ever since. Cheers!

Feb 05, 2018 9:04 pmim not sure if it counts more so as videos than articles, but the countless mechanic tutorials such as stutter steeping have helped improve my experience with league in all kinds of ways, i’ve been playing vg for a while now and its crazy how much i’ve learned through bm.net. Its been a good 3 years thank you guys so much cant wait for more to come.
ThePinkOtter
Feb 05, 2018 8:56 pmMy favourite articles are definitely ’The unwritten laws of Vainglory’ ones by Vincitore. It’s nice to get away from all the competitiveness and to look back on your time/suffering with the game and laugh.

Feb 05, 2018 6:51 pmhttp://brokenmyth.net/vainglory-mastery-wave-control-101/ Basically your every post is a blessing for VG players. I have been reading ur posts for almost 2 years now. Never skipped a single one. So to decide which one was very tough. The reason I took it coz it game me insight on wave control which no video or blog ever gave me. Thx for your support n dedication towards VG. An avid reader of ur articles

The article http://brokenmyth.net/update-2-10-hero-tier-list/ is one of my favorite because another captain was introduced (Lorelai).

Feb 05, 2018 6:38 pmI’ve read a whole bunch BrokenMyth’s stuffs over the years, perhaps the most impactful of all are Brerman fan-made more and introduction to drafting post: http://brokenmyth.net/drafting-strategies-for-ranked-queue/
That is the foundation for my current drafting knowledge and I probably wouldn’t be as analytical as I am right now without that post.

Feb 05, 2018 6:30 pmMy favourite article is Vainglory Hero Countering: Your Guide to Winning Draft from April last year. I used to refer to the guide during matches to see how I can handle the opponent hero instead of straight forward attack. Been really helpful as well as helping me narrow down my picks against opponent.

Feb 05, 2018 5:43 pmMy favorite articles are the ones regarding 5v5.5v5 is still unknown to some players like me whose first MOBA is VG so the articles proved really helpful. If I had to choose one as the favorite, it would be

Feb 05, 2018 5:04 pmI recall the time when I had just begun playing vg, and the first time I played Skye I instantly fell in love with her kit. The 1.12 tier list (http://brokenmyth.net/1-12-tier-list/) was a very Skye-heavy meta, and I loved it to bits. This is a fond memory of my times in Just Beginning, and will probably remain my favorite article forever 🙂

Feb 05, 2018 4:53 pmMy favourite article is definitely the unwritten laws of vainglory volumes 1 and 2 i relate to so many of the entries there and its an article everybody should read.
April Cheng
Feb 05, 2018 4:44 pmhttp://brokenmyth.net/vainglory-5v5-overall-strategic-flow/
This one is definitely my favorite broken myth article. Really hyped up 5v5 for me as I have always been more of a fan of macroplay / strategy rather than pure mechanics. I’ve always known that 5v5 mechanics would be much more complex, but this was the first real introduction I had to a 5v5 MOBA as I have never played league/other 5v5 mobas.
Sky
Feb 05, 2018 4:33 pmHard pick, but http://brokenmyth.net/vainglory-hero-countering-your-guide-to-winning-draft/ might be my favorite. It has some fruitful knowledge that’s essential even if you’re not picking for draft.

Feb 05, 2018 3:31 pmFavorites are the articles explaining how to 5v5. My favorite is the one regarding comps (http://brokenmyth.net/vainglory-5v5-hero-roles-impact/) as it helps enlighten those who might need it about the steryotypical compositions and how you would build them.
