Do you feel bad when you play faceroll champions?

Question to people who play champs like Riven, Fizz, Vayne, Nidalee, Thresh, and so on.

Do you ever feel guilty about playing easy champions? Most people tend to play games to be challenged in some meaningful way, because it's fun when you become good at something inherently difficult. The overwhelming popularity of ultra easy, ultra strong champions like Vayne, Thresh, Fizz, etc., is mystifying. It seems like playing an easy champion would be unfulfilling in victory, and downright embarrassing in defeat. So what's the appeal?

Edit: Judging by the downvotes, I think the answer is, "Yes, and please don't remind us about it."

Vayne, rated one of the most difficult champs to play in the game is called faceroll.

Literally every champ in the game is faceroll by your logic. And then you put Thresh in there...holy shit. These topics give me cancer.

What champions are "faceroll" really depends on the person. I've seen just about any champion called a faceroll champion as an excuse for someone to justify why they lost to said champion.

You might legitimately be asking why people play easy champions over difficult ones, but the way you wrote it makes you seem like someone who lost lane and would rather complain on here than learn how to beat these champions.

Only when I don't faceroll.

I feel bad, for my enemy. Yes he is an easy-to-play button mash champ, and also toxic to play against, but I will be damned if he isn't ridiculously fun to play.

All the champions you just named are harder to play than Irelia.
