Am I weird for the fact that.....

I've had many perfect games on Shen where I've gone like 10-0-3 and the like. But the most satisfying win I've ever had as a Shen was this one I just played where I finished 1-0-16 in ranked flex where the one kill I got didn't come until the final 4 seconds left? Like is it weird that I find that game so much more memorable and awesome and satisfying than the ones where I get like 10 plus kills a match?

Not to mention the game before that I finished Shen as 6-1-6 where I stopped a Jax at 12 cs for the first 10 minutes. No he didn't dc. He just kept getting bullied out of the lane.

This has to be the two most satisfying wins I've ever had as a Shen main. The first one being the most satisfying. But honestly, is it weird that the first one is my favorite of all time? Or do yall have games where you don't really measure up in the kill column but because of sick ults, hooks, what have you, you just dominate the game?

support/tank style champions are more difficult to measure and usually kda/dmg dealt/ward count is not an accurate measure of "did I do gud". This is because supports provide largely utility that can't be measured. Things like stunning sound simple, but it's not. When you stun, who you stun and what you stopped with that stun matters much more. Compare stunning Ahri when it's a 1 v 1 in the laning phase while she's level 2 vs Stunning ahri during a teamfight after she's ulted into your backline, trying to kill someone. Another simple example is healing, where topping off someone who's about to recall is worthless, but healing a teammate out of an ignite fatality is worth a kill prevented.

usually the best way to tell is for the player themselves to watch what impactful plays they made.
