Do simple champion kits inspire salt/frustration/toxicity?

Personally I can't stand losing a lane,duel, etc. to a champion that basically has like -1 ability they actually need to think about before usin. Ex. Yi or fizz you get the picture. I can't (I'm trying to pick up azir in the assassin meta of all fucking things) imagine a player taking the time to Learn the Inn's and outs of Lee Sin, Azir, GP, and getting beaten because (insert champion) just kind of has to right click you and push (x) when needed. Like I get that there need to be entry level champions, and some people enjoy that simplicity, but it makes players that have put time and effort into say learning Riven's mechanics (no i dont play her) and then just kind of getting fucked because early game Garen.

Imagine learning Yasuo, and then getting smashed by a yi player because he just kind of counters you. All he needs to do is q or avoid your trnado and you lose/or kill you before you can stack it. Which is fine, but not exactly thrilling for the opposing end. Idk. Obviously there aint a fix for this, but i imagine not everyone is pleased getting "outplayed" by a tryndamere of all things as Rumble because he pressed r and ou basically have to kite or die. And you better not miss your E ;) Tryndamere

Anyone else? Just felt like talkin about that. I generally just get annoyed

I stopped playing fiora and rek sai for that reason. At a point it just feels like you handicap yourself to play something you enjoy

She's pretty much a weaker warwick imo. You gotta learn to track people while you can't see anything. Chasing people down is very difficult since they can be in smite range, but you cant blue smite them to catch them since you can't see. If you w up you're very immobile and if you try to use tunnel it's a relatively long animation for a dash with an extremely long cooldown. Then with ult if you have to time it right since it takes about 3-5 seconds to use for pretty garbage damage that can be easily dodged.

She's not very mechanically intensive like azir is, but all the clunkiness in her kit and the whole moving around without vision just isn't worth it unless you're counter picking eve.
