Streamer Alexander "Nix" Levin explained why League of Legends is more popular than Dota 2

According to "Nix" Levin, the reason lies in the simplicity of Riot Games' MOBA.

"We live in an era where short videos and Reels are the most popular things. It's not for nothing. Nowadays, nobody wants to play complex games. StarCraft was the greatest esports game, but it just died out. Nobody will come to play it because it's complicated. Why do people go to play LoL instead of Dota 2? Because "Dota" is much more complex. In LoL, there are no active items, denials, buybacks, glyphs, just *** [nothing]. Just memorize four buttons and press them. Plus, the map is half the size." - Alexander "Nix" Levin

Earlier, Levin talked about his attempts to play League of Legends. The streamer tried MOBA from Riot Games twice but couldn't find the motivation to stay.
