About Game Vault Media

What Game Vault Media Covers

Game Vault Media is an independent website about MOBA and auto battler games. We write about League of Legends, Dota 2, Deadlock, Smite 2, Pokémon Unite, Teamfight Tactics and Dota Underlords, along with the history of the genre that connects them, from Warcraft III custom maps to today’s games.

We are not a news site and we do not chase patch notes. We publish evergreen guides and explainers: how roles and lanes work, what map objectives do, how item and economy systems fit together, which heroes suit new players and where these games came from. When a detail depends on a specific patch or season, we say so and give the date. We do not cover esports tournaments, team business or betting.

Our Categories

• Beginner Guides – where to start with each game, how a match works and the terms you need to know.
• Roles & Strategy – positions and lanes, farming, wave management, teamfights, and economy and positioning in auto battlers.
• Heroes & Items – champion classes, hero attributes, items, runes, traits and augments, explained as systems rather than tier lists.
• Maps & Objectives – maps, structures, neutral monsters, runes and vision.
• History – how the genre and its best-known games and heroes developed.
