MOBA games have an additional challenge in that if one player isn't as strong as the others, he actually makes the opposing team stronger. If I'm playing, say, MechWarrior Online, and my Catapult K2 is killed by the enemy, that doesn't make the weapons of all the enemy mechs suddenly do more damage. But that's exactly how MOBA games work. So it seems to me that the game design pretty much encourages this kind of behavior.
