Overcoming a challenge that was tougher than you thought it was

So I've been exploring act 5.1 recently just as something to do while I wait to progress my roster enough to be able to do 5.3... and I remembered this time when I was doing my initial run through it...
So I was in 5.1.4 (the Life Transfer chapter) and I took the Enhanced Furies path. I thought it wasn't gonna be too bad cause yeah furies aren't too bad. But two things made it harder than I thought it was gonna be...
First, there was the Abomination on the second node of that path. Killed my Gwenpool super quick. But then I got through that with my poison-immune champ... I think it was my 4/40 hulk at the time...
Then, I realised halfway into the path that there were three DEBUFF IMMUNE champs at the end of the path... ooh boy I'd never fought against debuff immune before so this really scared me. But at the time, my 5/50 OML (yes he was my first r5 deal with it) was one of my favourite champs to use. I kept calm, baited heavies while blocking and baited some specials as well... and I ended up beating that path (yes I realise in hindsight that Life Transfer helped a ton, but it was still scary knowing i had some effectively stun immune and then some enemies to fight) and now I know I don't need to deal with it anymore on my way to 100% 5.1... so yeah I was wondering whether anyone else has had those sorts of experiences, where you went into content that was harder than you initially thought it would be, and still persevered in the end. I really am interested.
(oh yeah there was also that thing in act 4 where my first path in 4.3.6 was the short path. Ended up getting through him in 2 champs. That was pretty cool.)

Same with going against hard defenders. Seems scary at first but if you study their abilities and look up guides and videos and duel a lot, you'll get used to it.
5.4 seemed like a nightmare. It wasn't until I got to 5.3 and 5.2 that I realised how easy a time I actually a had with 5.4. I was breezing throught it barely losing any champs on my way to the boss but 5.3/2 were a different story. Those were properly hard for me. Mentally, I assumed 5.4 to be extremely hard but with constant play, it wasn't.
With Variant, I tried one path, died and thought "screw this, I'll come back when I have an appropriate roster".
A week later, sat down to try again (and not give up this time) & stopped with chapter 1 & 2 at 50%.
Turned out to be much easier than my initial fear of it. Just the restrictions that truely make it difficult.
Juggs in lol, was prepared for a revive-party, but ended up being 1 of the easier fights imo.
