Counterpicking and fun seem to be enemies.
I am not complaining about how strong or weak certain champions or team compositions are, I'm trying to see if other players feel this way about the champions that they play. This opinion might come from the class of champions I specifically play or it might be true in every role. Being counterpicked can be really frustrating when you are trying to learn to play the game, even if they can be learning experiences for what you are supposed to do. When I pick
or some other immobile mage the enemy team is almost garuntreed to run a number of champions that seem made to crush you and sometimes there seems to be very little you can do outside of play perfectly. It can (not 100% of the time) feel like there is nothing your champion can do because you were counterpicked and champions that counter you are played so often or there are too many to ban reliably.

(I like the champion but I don't play him well but it can be hard even in normals due to inexperienced mistakes that I still make without a second thought.)
Not all of these may be true counters, but I played Sol enough to get to m7 and I've been up against all of them at some point.
