They're just bad at balancing games.
They nerf things which has nothing to do with why heroes are strong. They buff things which will have no impact or don't fix why a hero isn't picked or good. They overnerf some heroes (which can even be bad) due to kneejerk reaction from some community whining or that a hero was picked in whatever joke tournament they happened to watch. They rework heroes that don't need it for any good reason and the rework makes them play worse than before.
They then don't even make bigger or more interesting balance changes that people get excited about, so the meta and game ends up very stale and samey. How heroes function and their positions in the meta has barely shifted since launch.
