Failures stick to your mind better than stuff working as intended, so even if you get five games you stack MRes and become invincible to their APC to every game where they destroy you regardless you're going to remember the latter more vividly. The reverse is true, also; every time a MRes stack gets away from your magic damage dealers basically unharmed wil seem more common than when get demolished due to MPen or other damage types.

Granted, that's just part of it. MPen itemization and such make a huge difference, and of course there's always AP ratios, damage reduction, healing, shields, etc. to account for. 140 mres may not seem like it should make a 2k health champion invincible, but when Soraka's in the backlines making the person have effectively twice the health then that radically changes things.
