The game shifted pretty much immediately to Custom Games from the start because most custom games were easy mini games that required next to no APM. And that's fine, people like easier games. More people gravitate toward easier games than they do more difficult ones, explaining why Souls games are really niche and unpopular.
But even while this was happening, SC2 still managed to get a strong foothold before League and HoN broke the first MOBA ground post All-Stars.
Just because Custom Games exist doesn't mean that Warcraft III is inacessible -- SC2 is a much more intense, difficult, and unfun game yet it has more player than it even today. This isn't because Warcraft III is some game that only geniuses can play, it's because everyone thinks it's dead and Reforged's launch is the last time it ever peeked it's head out to the mainstream.
Warcraft III being overshadowed by Custom Games doesn't make it difficult to play and people aren't aware of that today.
You're welcome for the education, faggot.

If you just hop on and press buttons and don't even attempt to learn how things work or why things happen this will happen. Complete shitters usually start winning after 8-12 games if they give a shit enough to actually play the game and learn the basics.
It isn't the game, it's you. And honestly, if you're not playing a game to learn it that's fine. There are other games you can play that ask nothing of you and that's valid.
But you losing more than 20 in a row isn't the game's fault, it's yours.
