Yeah their design philosophy is absolutely terrible. They basically made it as hard as possible to actually fight your opponent while emphasizing their gay objectives and wave clearing.

All the good heroes that were good at actually playing the game like a PvP game were nerfed into irrelevance or reworked and all their new champs after like 2014 were made that way by default.

It's probably the player's fault more than anything else, ever since active patching became a thing and people know devs will cave if there's enough pressure there's this prevailing culture of bitching about every little thing you don't like that everything interesting or impactful ends up sterilized until there's literally nothing to coherently complain about because everyone's so short of individual agency at that point.
