Which champion should I play? The champ I like more, or the one that's better for my mental health?

I used to play only Kayle support. It was fun, and I like it. Not a meta pick, but it worked for me. When Yuumi came out though, I switched right over. She was just too cute! I love her gameplay and her character. But the trouble with Yuumi is she's very team dependant. Which isn't strictly a bad thing, just, sometimes it can be bad for me. Because I have to attach to my teammates, I'm more aware of what they're doing... And when they screw up. I've always thought of myself as a very calm person when playing league, but when I'm attached to someone as Yuumi and they do something stupid that gets us both killed? Sometimes I end up yelling at the screen, something I usually only do on bad days. I thought I was just testy because of a recent change in antidepressants, but yesterday I played a game where Yuumi was banned, so I went back to my old Kayle pick. And it was a very relaxing game. Don't get me wrong, I still love playing Yuumi, and as a bonus, my winrate on her is a bit better than on Kayle. On Yuumi my winrate is 56.7% while on Kayle my winrate is 52% I'm just worried that playing Yuumi might be bad for me? I don't like getting angry

If playing a champion tilts you, don't play them. At the end of the day, league is a game, and trust me climbing isn't going to make your game's quality improve(it actually makes players mentality get much worse). Besides, if you enjoy playing the character, you'll have fun and climbing will be a side effect whereas if you're angry it'll just be tedious.

Yummi is not team dependant, its ADC dependant. I once got carried by kalista+yummi. They just went 2v5.
