Unpopular Opinion on Zed, Riven, Lee Sin, Fizz, Etc..

A lot of People call the mechanically harder champions to play against 'Infuriating' and 'Unfun'. Zed, Yasuo, LB, Fizz, Riven, Lee Sin, the whole shibang. Thing is, and it's a fact, people don't like being outplayed. Which is what all these champions are based on doing. Zed needs to harass you down with a skillshot before pressing R and trying do enough damage to kill you with his other skills. Yasuo dashes around to dodge skillshots and his windwall helps in keeping projectiles away from him and his team. LB, I give on this one, is very annoying and hard to deal with when she Q-R's you. Fizz is self explanatory. Riven is a monster when she snowballs and she's a lane bully at the same time. Lee Sin is in the jungle ganking your lanes with flashy mobility.

Thing is, they don't out stat you, they don't pass a check that says 'I have enough X to kill you' like other certain champs. They perform mechanical combo's and generally are built squishy, with their defense being in their damage and mobility.

To me, that isn't unfun. That isn't infuriating. If I get outplayed, sure I'm upset; I lost. Anybody would expect to be upset. But at the same time, I would admire the guy who outplayed me, I find it fun that I got to experience that skill against my own. And when I beat them, I smile and am happy that I didn't beat them because they had less stats then me, I beat them because I out-skilled them. THAT is why I enjoy seeing these champs and enjoy playing against them. That is also why I hate playing against champs like Irelia and Vladimir. They don't out skill you at all, they just farm up with sustain until they get enough items to beat you down with right clicks or spamming Q-E on you repeatedly while surviving not thanks to their skill with their mobility, but due to being tanky. Which is just raw stats. When I win against an Irelia or Vlad or any other champion like them, I don't feel skilled. I don't feel like I outplayed them. I feel like I just beat a champion that didn't have any tools to out skill me besides passing a stat check.

My opinion on the matter is, as much as the community calls them unfun and unfair, I feel like they are better for the game as a whole. They are fun to play against BECAUSE they aren't ball of stats champions. They are all full of active abilities and skillful mechanics when played at a high level, and I enjoy seeing them, playing with them and playing against them(Though not as them). They're a challenge, and when I win that challenge I feel good about myself.

tl;dr, I enjoy seeing and playing against Lee Sin, Zed, Riven, Yas and others, and I hope they stay.
