Corbyn was relatively new two years ago; there was still a level of excitement and interest about someone who looked different. By this year that had all worn off, whereas people's misgivings about him had got stronger.

There's also the factor that Labour ran a very scattershot and poorly focussed campaign, which isn't to do with how Corbyn was perceived on the doorstep, but does have something to do with his performance as a leader:
