Okay, here is what makes the game the most unenjoyable: idiots. I find duels a bit boring, I always have to put in my full attention, it is hardly relaxing, which is fine if you play on a competitive level. 4v4 is a bit more relaxing, only around 50% of the game is actual fighting against competent opponents, the rest are doing something unrelated, like boosting, clearing, or rotating between objectives. So, if I want to relax, I play Dominion or Breach, which is fun, except for one thing: idiots. You only need one idiotic team mate to ruin everyone- you know this one, the guy who runs into the enemy zone, finishing with 1-7 at the end, the one who comes in to feed revenge because he has zero ideas about how revenge gain works. If I think deeply about it, maybe they are not idiots, they might be people putting their time in playing the game, and when they are not playing, they don't read about games or watch videos.
It would be a completely understandable expectation to make the game itself educational. I mean, if you just play, and complete the tutorials, you will never find out anything about max punishes after certain counters, you will never know how guardbreak vulnerability or recoveries work, you certainly won't ever hear about optionselects, you will not know about how much renown you feed when you are killed in an enemy zone, you will not understand how revenge gain works or how it is different to fight an opponent who activated revenge (aside from the shield, armor and kickdown). The game should totally educate you about these things, I have never ever seen a game where you learn so little without youtube. Even MMO characters rotations can be figured out, you have the informations to make the necessary calculations, but you will never know about recoveries or vulnerabilities without making tests (optionselects are probably discovered by accident).
