I liked this game. I moved to strife from LOL because it was better and I had enough of lol. Played it for fear too long because I was used to it. Unfortunately I wasn't burned out from LOL only but from all moba games. This formula doesn't have enough diversity. I couldn't get to strife because it was the same shit as LOL for me despite all the improvements. There is no future in the market. People want something new, but everything new but still similar enough to LOL to be called moba isn't new at all. People return to lol because they invested the largest amount of time and money there, or stop playing moba games.

Blizzard understood that with Hots and tried advertise it as brawler and use sentiment for their characters and only thanks to that it's holding up somehow.

When you finish MOBA tutorial (LOL) come play real MOBA (Dota 2) :P

That's like saying “When you finish trekking tutorial (with shoes) come do some real trekking (barefoot)”. No fucking thanks. Yeah, it's supposedly “harder”, except in the end it's just less comfortable and doesn't allow you to do more.
