Ever not like a game due to classes?

I think this is one of my main issues with Elder Scrolls Online. There just isn't a class/power set that I have played that I just liked. It is hard for me to getting into the game.
I know WoW turned this way for me when Shaman were nerfed early on. It was a class enjoyed but it was of course over corrected. I tried rerolling but the other classes just didn't fit me as well.
Has this ever happened to to you in game?

As to me, no to your thread title question.

Love playing healing class, and games that have you running through glowy bits to regain health, or simply having potions instead - not for me.
I tried LOTRO many times and not a single time i enjoyed any of the classes.
As for Rift, the focus on quantity instead of quality made most of the classes dull for me, but i did like a couple of souls on each calling.
This is pretty much a standing thing with me and MMORPGs. I must find a class that feels good for my playstyle, otherwise the whole game just becomes blah really fast.
I happened to like Neverwinter Online's classes a lot, so I played that for a month or two before I was rubbed wrong by gambling boxes.
I also typically like games where there are no classes. Building my class out of skills is as close to the 'perfect class' I can get to, all things considered. If the combat/movement/animations are smooth, I will give multiple classes a shot until I find the one I like. If there isn't one, I'm done with the game.
Close melee combat with a lance? /Groooooan ...goodbye!
You stay sassy!
The downside is that this is still a Role Playing Game, and people like to be called Monks or Rangers or Death Knights. You can look at your skills all you want and see that you have essentially pulled off the basic feel of a Ranger, but your character sheet says Nightblade, and you've got all these shadow powers that don't really mesh with your concept.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
Elder Scrolls magic system generally allows you to pick fire, ice, lightning versions of destruction magic. I would have rather had hard classes than a classes than half customization with limits on spells. A real sorcerer, dragonborn, nightblade, monk and etc. would have been cool.

There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Not sure if that falls under classes though, might just be overall mechanics.
Also Quit Guildwars 2 due to lack of healers.
I hated Wildstar because I despised all the class choices, I hated ESO because the class choices were so awful, and countless others.
On the other hand I've been willing to play TERRIBLE mmos far longer than I should have just because they had a class I loved. Champions Online was one such example. Amazing class options and customization, but a godawful piece of s**t of a game.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
It's the problem with a lot of customization systems which are too freeform. At least ESO mostly avoided that situation by having very few direct damage attacks and a lot of DoTs which provide superior damage-per-attack. Because the DoTs didn't stack, you at least were forced to rotate between those efficient attacks in order to maximize DPS (certainly not the deepest rotations in the world, but completely avoided CO's problem.)

After playing action combat (none- tab target) mmo's, like TERA and Wildstar, I cannot, just cannot play those horrible tab target games anymore. I tried Archage etc. but nono, just no. Looking forward to Blade and Soul though, let's see if I can stand it.
Did you try playing to lvl 20/25ish in Wildstar @Kazuhiro? Classes really start getting awesome then. I actually found that Wildstar is one of the only games I've ever played, that I enjoyed most classes, and had a hellufa time picking a main in
Pretty much sums me up. Not to beat a dead horse but....City of Heroes was my thing. Granted, some would say they created classes who don't quite do it all with CoV, but I saw some awesome tanking brutes and powerful dominators. Ugh GW2...whatever! Totally don't get the appeal. I have a buddy who plays, but he's a total loner and doesn't like being a part of anything much unless it's PvP. So....he loves GW2. Everybody can do sort of everything, but just not well. The medic in WS is not bad, but ppl say it's over powered. I don't think so.
