League and Fun.

So, I'm not the best league player, and I haven't even been playing that long. I managed to crawl my way up to Silver IV. But I remember when I first started playing, each game was a new experience, and there was always an element of fun, even if I was losing. But recently I noticed that when I play, its no longer about playing for the sake of playing. When I play, I can't do certain things for fear of the punishment of a bad game. For instance; If I were to Q a Kassadin with Ahri, I would instantly be Ulted by Kassadin and hammered. And even if I do manage to survive, I'd lose over half my health, and thanks to Kassadins Q, hes basically untouched. Now I'm not talking about these champions specifically, I'm talking about the general idea. You're left hot and upset because you cant even fight back, and of course there are your team members who in my opinion are the last people I want to upset, and I'm forced to sit under tower and hope he doesn't get enough ahead to just tower dive me. Any actions I do try to take are severely punished. It's like all League is about anymore is moves, and counter moves. Mistakes and reactions. I'm forced out of the game and the last thing I'm experiencing is fun. I'm not screaming for a global nerf or anything, I just want people to consider this.

We play games to have fun don't we? And if so, Are we?

Honestly, the best way to have fun would be to get a 5 man set up and try to do stupid stuff and see if it's viable (wombo combo comps, rammus malphite double relic shield bot, etc.). Due to the fact that LoL is a pvp game that is snowbally in nature, fun tends to be related to success. It doesn't feel good to be hard countered. Usually fun will come at the expense of someone else's. Double armor tank bot if done right will probably make the enemy adc feel exactly how you felt against that Kass. It's fun for the tanks, at the expense of the enemy. For whatever reason, i have more fun duoing or playing in 5mans and more fun in teambuilder than blind pick.

there a number of champions that are not fun to play against, I hate a bunch of them, and ppl often rage about a bunch of them on the forums. You're not alone, but these champions are not op but are a real pain to play against.
