Somewhat surprised to see the reaction to this game but perhaps it's more enjoyable to approach without thinking of it being Pokemon. It's a lower commitment MOBA than most of its peers and far more accessible for new players. The main reason I don't play league much is because of the daunting game length and amount of abilities/techs. There's room for a game like Unite to be an easier to pick up competitive MOBA. Although, there are some questionably pay to win elements and lots of mobile app style pop ups that get annoying.
