agreed on both points. i do think the learning curve can be part of it though. a few people who i have talked to have voiced that (maybe my frame of reference is just biased).

i got much less frustrated learning to play lol than i did dota because i felt so helpless, for example, getting blown up within a 1/2 second in 2 man gank whereas i would be able to stay alive much longer in the same situation in lol.
