I Don't Like MOBAs; Independently, They're Dumb

 There's five players per side. It's supposed to be a team game.

 Most of the game is single player. With three lanes and one jungle, you're not likely to see your teammates at all unless you're collapsing for a team fight - a negligible portion of the game. 

 You do need to be a team player in the team fights. If you like team fights, most of a MOBA match is pointless and tedious to you.

 If you like the essentially 1v1 or even PVE-like nature of doing a lane, you won't be much interested in the critical team fights. You'll just be mad at whoever is 1v1ing worse than you are. 

 MOBA conventions are deliberately designed backwards, for maximum distress. 


 Apparently a one-lane mode is highly popular. Well, no shit. Admittedly, it's mainly because players are stupid and it simplifies things. Secondly it's because you actually see your teammates in this alleged team game. Play together instead of the toddler-mode parallel play.
