What’s your favorite losing matchup?

I got to thinking about matchups and realized that I think part of the reason I like playing as Captain America so much is because few of his counters are legitimately unfun to fight.

Specifically, his matchups against The Thing, Peni Parker, and Wolverine are REALLY fun even though realistically they are a problem.

Wolverine is THE hate-filled anti-tank conniving kidnapping perma-banned salacious animalistic freak, but Cap has so much mobility that there’s always options when getting chased by this sweaty freak. Wolverine CAN lunge and pin me and ravage my health bar, but he has to actually catch me first, and it’s really fun to play this game of cat and mouse. Sometimes if I know his lunge is on cooldown, I’ll deliberately hit the Wolverine a few times and taunt him to get way out of position to try and catch me, and if I do REALLY well, I can make the Wolverine question if he’d actually get value trying to hit me, as I run past him and bonk the supports.

The Thing is a much stronger brawler, he can peel for his team, and he can lock me out of sprinting, and if I get stunned by his ult that’s usually a guaranteed KO. But even still, the fact I can draw his attention, force him to peel, I can take him off the frontline, and there’s enough gaps in his offense that I can escape the brawl, it’s actually incredibly fun to try and lead the fight, force him to decide whether or not to abandon the frontline battle, and try to get away with a kill while their big golem keeps hunting me down.

Peni Parker is such a huge anti-dive character, and yet there is always a limit to what space she can control. Even with mine placements capable of nuking me sky high if I’m not careful, the “no-diving” zone she always has up that I can’t even bother attacking, and those stupid web snares, I never feel like I’m doing nothing against her, and if I play around her, I can still push her own teammates back, and give my own team the opportunity to vacuum up the spider infestation, and it’s exhilarating to try and take on the team in their very own den.

And that got me wondering, do you have losing matchups that you still enjoy nonetheless?
