Snowball is unfun even when I am on the winning side

Of course, snowball is an absolutely miserable experience when I am on the losing side. But even in the winning side it is not a good experience. I say that because games like this are boring and I learn nothing from them. I don't want to just have easy wins. I want to have an win that I feel like I deserved. I want a real challenge, something that I find it will be fun and enjoyable, knowing that I need to play that game and that matchup correctly if I want to win. I want to know that if I lost, it was purely because I made a mistake, not because the enemy had a lead that wasn't even that big, but was big enough that it would let them one shot me and vaporize my towers.

Also, if I wanted easy wins, I would just play Coop vs IA and stomp bots, playing a normal game (against humans) and winning by stomping the enemy team may be good in the sense that I am winning, but games like this are boring and unfun, and are even worse for my opponents.
