MOBAs are a bit more dynamic I find that most RTSs, and simple for audiences to understand - starcraft in particular ended up playing much more like chess, with a fairly established early/midgame going towards an endgame, assuming no major mistakes were made. MOBAs just have a lot more variables not only in the team composition but also communication and teamplay - combined they make for a lot more dynamic strategies (closer to basketball than chess).
