All champions can be frustrating to deal with, but there are those which almost make you roll your eyes once they get going. I am talking about champions and champion mechanics that can be a bit frustrating to deal with but feel satisfying and fun when dealt with correctly by your teammates. E.gMasterYi
I don't think anyone who's played league long enough, hasn't been in a game where you thought the team fight was over after you killed 2 people on the enemy team the rest retreated and you pressed for an objective, then all of a sudden a wild MasterYi appears and proceeds to clean up your low health team that has blow all it's cc on the ADC and katarina mid. While frustrating to deal with a Yi if you've spent your cc he's pretty fair in the fact that all you require is to burst him down immediately or cc him and it's over and it's always satisfying when your team deals with him correctly.

This is a really cool topic. I can't wait to see how people respond.

I have a few champions, but looking at the roster the first one that I nod to is Bard. Bard has his own rules and no matter what your relation to him as an ally or an enemy you need to be aware of them. He wanders for chimes, punishes for being too close to minions or terrain, can enable godlike mobility or engages for his team....but...he can also be incredibly derpy and pretty much every aspect of his kit has counterplay that can set him up for failure.

A good bard is incredibly annoying and influential to deal with, but I can't even be mad because I know they had to earn it somewhere on the line as a player understanding the champion.

A second choice would be Gangplank simply because of how interactive one of the main components of his kit is - his barrels. There is nothing more amusing and BM to me than to cockblock a gangplank's barrel combos with a well timed auto. He's still frustrating in some aspects because he has the ability to have global presence while keeping someone top, but overall I think the barrels create an interesting minigame during the laning phase that dulls the monotony of playing top lane for me.

Illaoi Anything and everything can be dodged, almost all the damage I take is 100% my fault. If I win, it's solely because I played well - if I lose, it's because I didn't.

That being said, it's pretty frustrating to know you didn't play well, but at least you know you deserved it. Also, playing a champion with a large hitbox and low mobility is pretty shitty.

MF because it's my fault for being close to a low health minion but WHY DO YOU DO HALF MY HEALTH. MF is annoying to lane against.

I'd say Teemo. Yep. He's mid-tier at best, so I can't blame anyone if I lose. Yet he's infamous for a damned good reason.
