I literally started playing the same way as you . Me and 2 other friends started playing because we were looking for a 3 v 3 moba and vg sounded like the best option . My backstory aside , start simple . Each of you pick a role and pick one hero for each role i . e one of you as the laner , the other two as jungle and roam . Pick a simple hero for each position . Me and my friends started as ringo , koshka and catherine i was catherine support as they are the easiest heroes for beginners . Now , coming to the builds , learning about all the different items can be pretty overwhelming at first , so just buy the recommended items . Or you can go to sites like brokenmyth or vaingloryfire brokenmyth is better and read about your role and hero and the recommended builds . Read about your heroes abilities and how they work . Also read about how to perform your role efficiently . Laner Last hitting lane minions rotating to the jungle if your team is in trouble avoid overextending proper positioning in team fights Avoid face checking bushes building at least one defense . Roamer Buying and using fountain effectively Placing scout traps in important locations always have a scout trap near the gold mine Buying crucible and wartreads and using them effectively . Using atlas on auto attack reliant heroes like ringo , saw and krul . Building contraption against stealth heroes flicker , taka and cp kestrel . Protecting and peeling for your allies especially your laner . Body block skill shots for your carries . Jungler Farming jungle creeps and invading with your roamer when you have strong early game heroes koshka , glaive etc Ganking your lane and helping your laner get ahead . Engaging with your support during team fights . Counter jungling when your jungle is getting invaded . Not trying to 1 v 3 or picking fights when your team is not around . Once you get a hang of the game and the items , you can pick up new heroes and maybe switch roles a little bit and learn how to play them by watching competitive games like evil 8 and pro matches to learn about slightly advanced concepts like draftingwhat to pick and what to ban , hero counters , stutterstepping etc . Me and my freinds started playing around 5 months ago and all of us are in hotness now . Its been a lot of fun and hope you guys have fun too . Cheers ! tldr start by picking a role and one hero per role . Stick to recommended builds . Pick up new heroes and try diffferent builds when you get a hang of it . Watch competitive games and use sites like broken myth or look for hero tips etc . on this sub for a deeper understanding of the game . Good luck on your vainglory journey !
