Why did this game not blow out?

They also didn’t advertise enough IMO.

The game was pretty bad on release tbh. They went the eSports route for marketing and failed.

Lack of PVE elements
While there is AI, many stable and support players want something more to do in the game than a couple of pvp matches a week. Without other aspects of the game to keep players invested in the game, there isn’t much to keep them around for those that think they already ‘mastered’ the game, esp if there’s a lack for actually challenging mastery

Worse, the outright removal of PvE elements. Many heroes that originally had a PvE focus were deliberately reworked to have to participate in team fights to contribute.
