Who do you consider anti-fun?

lets start with a definition of anti-fun.

  1. lacks some form of counterplay other than specific champion picks or immense game knowledge
  2. feels awful to play against
  3. feels unrewarding to play as

For my personal list Blitzcrank yeah you can dodge the hook, but your adc that actually needs to is going to get hit by one after 35 minutes, even if blitz has never hit a single one all game until then, congratz you now lose. also playing as blitz really feels meh, like yeah you can fish for hooks and a good predict feels good, but why bother when you can run up to them, E and 100% land that hook/flash into your team to secure the kill.

Kayle only when actually strong and worth picking, there is a reason she is left to the chinese elo boost strat. You cant fully shut her down, as she just makes whoever got fed on her team literally take 0 damage, and since she builds full damage herself, has shred built into her kit, and can actually bully a lot of lanes with her scaling, a lot of times that fed person ends up being her. And she is literally right click stat checking, nothing in her kit really feels good to use except her ult.

Nunu oh you like having your own buffs? yoink I have a 1k damage nuke + smite to make sure I can always steal them from you, as well as secure every objective. Oh you are playing as me though? Well I guess other than the objective securing I get to spam a slow and press W to make my adc attack faster? Oh well, at least I was annoying right?

Shaco similar to nunu in the stealing your buffs, but he also is going to kill you first with his invis into backstab and then field of boxes you have no fkn clue when he had the chance to set them up to keep you from escaping. oh and you are a mid laner? hope you always keep both rivers warded and your raptors because otherwise I am driveby chunking you every chance I get. Or I am on your team, diving towers lv2 and flaming you for not flashing to followup. And seriously how fun is it to play shaco? I played him a significant amount waiting for the fun to happen. You just do the same thing though, take your buff, go cheese the enemy jg, driveby gank mid, setup boxes around objectives and then split push.

Singed oh you cant proxy waves as well as I can? well lol gg your hp tanking them or rip your tower if you let it crash. Also I get a fuckton of free stats (including armor) so after level 6 I am just going to take tower aggro while you die to my poison and my jungle diving you...All I had to do was stand there. Oh I am actually getting collapsed on? pop the ult and run away and you cant chase my because poison + rylais slows you while I run mach 5. If laning vs him you literally just survive and hope your team doesnt lose every other lane stupid hard so you can hopefully be more useful late. or play Jayce and kill Singed every time he looks your direction, that works too.

Honorable Mentions that could have made the list but didnt. most feel good to play as, therefore dont really fit the "anti-fun" part. Just you have fun at the expense of others Akali Azir Camille Ekko Ivern Pantheon Syndra Vayne Yasuo Heimerdinger

Antifun? 100%Soraka . Doesn't matter who you play to vs her, it just makes the lane terrible the second she gets picked, regardless of your playstyle. If the soraka knows how to position, youll never win the lane. Even if you don't lose the lane, it's still antifun. You just spend 15 mins standing there next to your ADC doing nothing (I'm imagining this from the supports perspective because thats what I play)

Yasuo a bit cliche but he really is the most unfun champion to play against imo because it feels like you are not even playing the game, he is playing with himself constantly moving, constantly dashing in and out, constantly spamming shit and I just stand there like "let me play ffs"

Akali Diana same type of champion, at lvl 6 I can just instakill you no matter what but if I dont then I am dead no matter what, terrible design, terrible gameplay, super antifun

Fizz just the trollpole, its the most overloaded ability in the game and breaks him completely

Zilean my personal hatred towards this fucker is unreal, if you want to move here is a 90% slow, oh its gone well here is another one, I have an engage champ well now he is rolling faster than rammus, oh you want to kill something well I can instantly give them a guardian angel that revives them to full health

Soraka Sona is it me or these 2 just make botlane a total chore, healers are imo the most unhealthy, unfun, uninteractive class in the entire game by far, now I very rarely play bot but these 2 just make the game super boring, not to mention that they totally and completely break ARAM with like 75% win rate there...

LeeSin will this piece of shit ever not be meta and get a real nerf? 6 years, still waiting...

Anti fun is getting assblasted so hard, then they run it down mid for three waves to your well, die and still murder and defeat your ass.

Annie This fucking champion, twice today ive shit on an annie in lane but it dont matter soon as she gets even 2 doran rings and lvl 6 an has flash up you just gonna get 1 shot with 0 counterplay while fucking stunned. and even if you manage to kill her you better be prepared for the ass kicking the enraged tibbers is gonnna throw down on you.

A lot of people confuse anti fun with "strong" or "hard to play against" I see anti fun as a game machenic or champion that actively makes other people feel weaker. I would say Fiddlesticks definitely falls into this description as he has 3 abilities that make you feel powerless, his ult (though quite strong when used in the right situation) I can deal with, but the rest of his abilities either incapacitate you are heal back the damage that you dealt. Going off of this concept I think champions like soraka (with her healing making it feel like you can't progress lane without targeting a support), tahm kench with his devour and warwick with his fear and damage reducer are also really unfun to play against. Ofcourse, a fed mage can often kill someono who isn't a tank with one ability rotation, but there is always counterplay which doesn't consist of "just never get close" you can flash a tibbers, buy zhonyas for that fed syndra ult or veigar ult and you can qss out of moredekaiser ultimate. But when you are someone without a giant range and you engage on a Fiddlesticks he will just use q and walk away. It is the frequency at which these champions are able to do this which makes them unbearable to lane against.

feels unrewarding to play as? thats just called a shit champion, you cannot fit that bill unless your champ is literally one of the worst in the game

I consider the necromancy of threads anti-fun. It ruins the Boards, violates the Board Universal Rules, and isn't satisfying to do. As such, I will counter with the only known counterpick -- the padlock.

I would say anti-fun champions are ones that don't follow the normal rules of engagement. Characters that only exist due to some cheesy thing they can do.

Nunu Yasuo Ivern Teemo Fizz

There are a few others, but all of these characters embody some form of not being able to fight back adequately.
