There is currently almost 40,000 playing TF2. I'd imagine there should still be a significant amount of people playing who aren't very good. Then again, maybe I am underestimating how many people just idle in the game for items.

Fighting games > MOBAs

Quitting DOTA and HOTS was one of the best things I ever did. Playing a "competitive" game where the outcome relies solely on your teammates knowing what they are doing is not a fun experience.

They might have improved casual matchmaking if that's a thing

People who wanted to play a MOBA that cut out all of the tedious grinding and focused on full team battles in shorter matches

DOTA 2 still living in the early 00s with its WC3 custom game mentality of farming for 50 minutes and wiping the enemy out in the last 5

HOTS was an improvement in every aspect. The elitists stuck to DOTA 2 because they think last hitting is a "skill" worth bragging about (but actually is just a tedious annoyance that serves no purpose to the grander scheme of a competitive game)

HOTS was the Super Smash Bros. of MOBAs. It cuts out all the bullshit like last hitting, similar to how Smash Bros. cuts out all the overly complicated button inputs in fighting games.

Playing HOTS is not satisfying in the slightest.

Smite is more like the Smash Bros of mobas imo. It's pretty easy for new people to pick up, fun with friends, and there's a pretty decent high level scene. I'm a very casual player though.

Looking back at my time playing mobas I honestly wonder why the fuck I bothered. Even when I won it wasn't very fun

for real

and for all its accessibility and whatnot, it sure seems to struggle mightily to have any sort of following

Pretty much. I never played any video games other than DOTA 2 from the age of 17 to like 23.

This was back in 2014.

After I turned 23 I didn't have time for videogames, especially games like DOTA 2 which like you said, MOBAs are huge time investments.

Now as a full-time employee, a business owner, and a freelancer, I simply have no free time to even think about videogames. Haven't played videogames since 2014.

They all seem boring and MOBAs are too much of a time sink.
