Because it's not.
Unloading your entire combo for 30% of their total health and then having one of them barrel into you and dumpster 100% of your health before your cooldowns come back up is not fun.
Even better is landing all of your skill shots and CC, and still having them catch up shortly after and destroy you.
Critmaster Garen3 votesi dont know. is laning a juggernaut against a little bitch ass squirrel that constantly pokes you from range with auto attacks and his shurikens, who runs away with a stun and 500 movespeed when youre trying to trade back supposed to be fun?
different champions have different strengths. you should already have won the lane phase so hard, that these guys shouldnt have posed a threat.
defense and health beats burst. this is nothing new.

Yenn1 votesI'm playing Kennen. I'm 3-1-3. The enemy team's juggernauts are literally running through my ult, eating the entire thing and all of my damage, and completely ignoring me, because I do so little damage to them.
If our other carries stay in range to try to punish them for running through my ult, they're going to get caught before they get two autos off. If they back off, they just collapse and kill me after hourglass, wait 10 seconds, and try again without my ult to slow them down.
The later the game got, it reached a point where I didn't even need Hourglass, because they would just ignore me.
This is non-sense.
Cherysse1 voteshave you tried full magic pen runes?
Maximum Morde1 votesI've personally never been able to make Kennen work well Top. His damage just feels far too low to go into the current top lane meta.
I've had more sucess with Morgana top.

i dont know what they did with him on the mage rework though. the damage on his ult is crazy.
kennen can easily be a strong top lane pick when you just roam/countergank bot and pick up triple kills at lvl 6. at the very least hes a very safe pick on top when it comes to farming and laning.
Maximum Morde1 votesYeah, he can do alright, and his Ult can be a Team fight changer. I just have trouble actually controlling the top lane after one or two items, where with Morgana I can control top and dominate team fights too the entire match.
I fully admit that may just be me. I do have probably around 1000 Morgana games and maybe only about 50 or so Kennen.
VoidStaresBack3 votesOne Juggernaut, one warden, and one diver. All different classes, and of course the diver is going to get on your ass and fuck you up, that's their job.
They all had some amount of magic resistance built by game end, a void staff would have been a decent item to get to threaten them.
Also, I have another question: how the hell did you team not manage to peel the Vi and Darius off of your squishies? Every single member of your team has at least one of the following: slow, snare, stun, knockup. Many of them have multiple of those. Yeah, Vi's got her ult for dunking things, but Darius has no mobility or gapclosers worth noting and can be easily stopped in his tracks by just one of the many, many CC tools your team had.
