Arena of Valor for Pc

I’ve been playing this game for about 3 years now, and this by far one of the best games I’ve EVER played, I’ve seen and heard people say that matchmaking is unfair, but let me tell you it’s not, and THATS what I love about this game, no matter what or who your up against you ALWAYS have a fair chance, I’ve played games as Zanis(My Warrior Main) and had to pretty Much win it for my team. My point is, you always have the chance to win, you just need to want that win. Now back to my previous point, the game runs so smoothly, and there is a huge variety of heroes to choose from, with new ones being added pretty much monthly, And the one thing I like about this game, is that it takes a learning curve, for every. Single. Hero. With other MOBAS that I’ve played, they pretty much made it to where you didn’t have to learn the Bursts, attacks, are patterns of players and yourself, but in AoV, once you pick a character, and In a way, you become attached to that hero, and you stick with him/her, and you learn how to use your Burst correctly, where you stand in a team fight. And there are a ton of more things I could say, but all I’m TRYING to say, is that this game is in MY top 3. I know that this game will be a competitive revolution!

This game is definitely enjoyable, but I’m not sure I see too much skill involved as far as controls. I’ve only been playing for a few weeks, but so far, it seems as though gameplay just consists of spam buttons. It is extremely difficult to overcome an enemy that has had a better start than you, which gets frustrating sometimes. As a long time Vainglory player, the action spamming in this game is quite enjoyable for a change, but once you’ve played for a few days, there isn’t too much strategy and skill involved, unlike Vainglory. Once you understand your heroes abilities, and the fun of spamming the “attack” button with Valhein starts to wear off, the game starts to lose some fun. Also, in the rare occasion that both teams are pretty equal, late game is a little annoying. Both teams just bunch up in middle lane and try to push, which takes forever, and I feel like the game doesn’t move forward. I mean, both teams can just keep killing each other forever, so I feel like this game is in need of something like the “kraken from Vainglory”. Although it does have the dragons, they do not really change the flow of the game as much as I would hope. However, I love the colorful roster of heroes and the 5v5 action. Overall, I feel as though this game is only really fun on the winning team, but has great potential with the wonderful heroes, so far so good community, and well known developer. Hope this helps thanks!

Game is flawless so far, no bugs, easy going etc. The only issue I’ve ran into is the matching system, it happened at least to me since the last patch, I was a 60% win rate player both in classic mode and ranked before the last patch, after the patch I get matched against full diamond ranked teams me being platinum at the time now gold II with a 46% win rate, I get matched with every kind of troll in the game and AFK player, me getting a kda of a minimum of 2-4 deaths and 5 to 10 kills in one game while my team is composed of feeders and an afk,I didn’t know what a losing streak was till now, 16 losses in a row is just pitiful thanks to afk players and trolls or feeders, the matching system honestly should be fair and not place a diamond team against a team of silver or gold players with less than 1000 matches and the hero selection screen should be changed into something where players get divided into the role that suits them the most for example if a player is good with Butterfly (assassin/jungler) the game should give that player the option to call jungle or fill spot before anyone else does and give priority to that player to jungle, I’ve run into people who play a hero like Murad who in my opinion is the hardest jungler assassin to master in RANKED for the first time costing the match to other players, besides all that the game is near perfect and enjoyable, I rate it a 4.2 for now.

UPDATE: The game has improved tremendously. Gameplay is smoother with easier targeting. And while the ranking is still slow you are able to earn more rewards now. Punishment system is still kinda wonky but it’s getting there. Community is improving but still come across an occasional troll, whether on your team or the opponents remains to be seen. Over gameplay is even better, hero balance is improving, community is shifting towards the upside and reward earnings have increased. Still requires real world money to unlock heroes quicker but they have introduced some nice features around that at a fraction of the cost. My overall rating ATM is 3.7!!!! Game itself is great. Amazing artwork, detailed landscape, colorful ability effects, diverse characters, but that’s about as far as the good points of this game goes and those are the only reason I gave this game 2 stars. The reward system takes entirely too long to level up your rank and earning gold is at a snails pace so you are forced to spend real money if you want to unlock more characters. The community is absolutely horrible! The punishment system is a joke. Yes you can report a person and it can damage their reputation and hinder their rewards, however, all they have to do is play 3-5 matches and they are back at the reputation they previously had.
