I really do _want_ to play Vainglory on my mobile devices, but unfortunately SEMC decided to spend all their money creating an esports scene for the game out of thin air and nearly went bankrupt in the process, which in turn led them to sort of abandon the game in a half-broken state and go for the Hail Mary play with Catalyst Black

To date MOBA has never recovered from this dumpster fire. All the alternatives that have since cropped up feel inferior to what SEMC had accomplished with Vainglory.

LoL: Wild Rift is surprisingly competent, and matches last around 15 minutes, speaking as a (former) dota player who hasn't played the regular LoL.

Sadly, the absence of tap controls makes it a non-starter on mobile... Virtual joysticks lack the fine controls that allow for higher (skill) levels of playing

I don't disagree, but it's a separate game with equal footing for everyone, and better than I expected it could be. It would of course never work cross-platform.
