Reverted edits by Czar on 6/23/15
I understand why the edit was reverted because as none of it was referenced, it appears to be original research. That said, the referenced WP:VG/S in the revert speaks to the difficulty of finding references for gameplay mechanics without either using the game or any game manual (which rarely exist these days in this world of game tutorials). Would a citation to the developer's website suffice? Because otherwise, no game review would go into detail about how the game works. I also refer to this Wikipedia essay on when to cite, section on "When a source may not be needed."

I would also say that the content that was already there before I edited it was not only also un-referenced, but also inaccurate and rather awkwardly written. Perhaps Czar, you should try to WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM instead of a mass revert? Anyway, no big deal, I was getting pretty tired of editing. Back to another game of VG!

 * If it's to a level of detail and jargon that would not be of use or interest to the general reader, it may not be worth including at all. For general press information that hasn't been picked up by the regular secondary sources (unlikely in this industry, but anyway), yes, the developer's site can be used as a self-published source with restrictions. As far as I'm concerned, the problem is fixed. The article is fine without the new additions, which go into an inappropriate level of detail. It was better to delete the whole unsourced mess rather than to try to source something that didn't fit. – czar   14:23, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

App icon change
The app icon has changed for quite a while since the update. I'm wondering if anyone can find the new icon? I can't find a good place to get a suitable one. Zamaster4536 (talk) 14:04, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You can get it from the App Store. However, WP prefers free use images and the older icon is both licensed by the developer as free use and sufficient to identify the game. So we wouldn't remove it to use a fair use image (WP:NFCC). czar  15:48, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Copyright Vainglory images
I found avatars at https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-lore-in-order-so-far/ bit they delete them because they found them in other section of vainglorygame.com. If anyone can help, will be great! PetreBogdan55 (talk) 19:52, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
