This is just a discussion thread, i really want to hear you guys's opinion.

Just out of curious, i've seen people complain that x champion is anti-fun to play AGAINST

And the design of fun to play and anti fun to play against is bad

But why would you play a champion that is not fun FOR YOU but fun for your enemy?

Just curious on what fun to play AGAINST really is.

Lets say , she's one example of anti fun to play against but fun to play as.

And when i looked through and champions, i can't really find a champion that is "fun to play against" some of them are just less mobile and some just less annoying.

Well, in truth, NO champion is actually fun, to play against, especially if you're losing yo them, but some champions either feel like they have all the cards in there hand like riven or yasuo, or they're giant stat checks you can't outplay, like garen or warwick.

Vladimir is a champ that riots pegged as one of the most anti fun champs in the game due to how he plays, if he's ahead he's just a big moving "no fun zone that has unavoidable damage.

The champions that are labeled "fun to play against" are the ones that leave you thinking "what could I have done better" instead of "I might have to start banning that guy" after the game.

I think kog'maw has historically been pretty fun to play against, but that's more because he's always been really vulnerable even when super strong. You know what you have to do each game against him.

If you want the real harsh truth, there is absolutely no fun to play against any champion who is winning or carrying the game. Makes people salty and toxic.

Doesn't exist. There is only bad to play against and decent to play against imo

Define "fun to play against"? For me, its fun to play against champions that people consider OP like Zed Yasuo Riven Leblanc Fiora Fizz Vayne Because, there is no more fun than in outplaying high skill cap champions.

Well an actually anti-fun to play champion, is someone who's straight up frustrating to deal with. Imho a fun to play against champ can't really exist per se, every champion is frustrating in his own way, but there are those that are bearable (like for example an Ahri, you know that if Ahri beats you, you probably did some kind of mistake). Usually champions that can't just flash (or dash maybe) + combo you to win aren't frustrating for me, and it's usually fun to play against high skillshot oriented champs since you can dodge everything (like ezreal). If I had to make a list I wouldn't really be able to make one, but I can say that champs like Riven, Yasuo, Lee, Vayne, Tahm, Annie, LB are frustrating for me since I don't feel like I've been outplayed most of the times both because they are incredibly safe (and all of the ones I listed are) and because they can dish some nonsensical damage, if I play against an Ezreal though, I know that if he lands a skillshot it's because he was better than me in 99% of the cases, same with most really sillshot oriented champs, if I get snared by Morgana or grabbed by Thresh I know I made a huge mistake since I've played them and so won't feel as frustrated as I would if a Malphite + Yasuo ult hits me, since I can't prevent that even with good positioning, no one can prevent a Malphite + Yasuo wombo withouth incredibly good mechanical skills, game knowledge and reaction time (and even then, if you lack some kind of mobility or flash is on cd it can't be done). I know my answer is pretty vague, but I can't really think of anything more defined, since every champion can be frustrating and anti-fun to play against given the right circumstances.

TL;DR Skillshot oriented champs are more fun to play against than point-and-click oriented ones, you actually feel they deserved the win if they landed a hard skillshot since you know that skillshot is hard to land, on the other hand if a WW ults you and you don't build QSS or don't have a spellshield, you feel cheated by the game, since you can't do anything about it.

Ekko, his visuals are amazing and it takes skill for him to use and for you to beat him.

Honestly it's pretty fun playing against Illaoi if you have the Movement Speed and reaction time to dodge her tentacles.
