TopPatch 16.2.1
What They Do
A high-mobility disruptor that wants you to chase him through his . He excels at 'proxying' waves behind your tower to create map pressure and scaling into a teamfight menace with .
Abilities (What to Watch For)
| Ability | What You'll See | What It Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| Wind aura when he passes near a champion | He gains a massive burst of Move Speed. If he gets close to you, he is likely positioning to use . | |
| A trail of purple gas behind him | Constant magic damage over time. Walking in this for even a second refreshes the damage. Do NOT follow him directly. | |
| A large sticky puddle on the ground | Slows and GROUNDS. You cannot use Flash, dashes, or any movement abilities while standing in this pool. | |
| Over-the-shoulder backflip | Flings you behind him. If he flings you into his , you are rooted. This is his primary tool for displacement and peel. | |
| He drinks a potion and glows with a chemical aura | He gains massive combat stats (Armor, MR, AP, Speed, Regen) and his now applies Grievous Wounds (healing reduction). |
Respect
- !The 'Don't Chase' Rule→Following his trail is how he wins. He wants you to bleed out while he stays out of reach.
- !Grounded Status→If you are standing in , you can't Dash or Flash. This makes you a sitting duck for his fling.
- !Proxying Pressure→He will often run behind your tower to kill minions. Chasing him there usually results in you losing entire waves of gold and XP to your tower.
- !Tower Flings→If you are sieging his tower, he will behind you and you into the turret's range for free damage.
Punish
- +is on cooldown (10s)→This is his only way to stop you from jumping on him. Once he flings you, he is vulnerable for the next 10 seconds.
- +Level 1 and 2→He is very squishy before he gets items or his . Bully him hard while he tries to touch the minion wave.
- +Low Mana Pool→His and drain mana quickly. If his blue bar is below 20%, he can't effectively escape an all-in.
- +is down→Without his ultimate, he loses up to 90 Resistances and massive health regeneration. He goes from 'unkillable tank' to 'squishy runner'.
Laning Tips
- •If he starts proxying, don't mindlessly chase. Tank the minion wave before it hits your tower or escort your own minions to his tower.
- •Buy an early Negatron Cloak or Spectres Cowl; magic resistance is the hardest counter to his damage over time.
- •Walk parallel to his trail. If you must get near him, zig-zag so you aren't constantly breathing the gas.
- •Save your mobility spell until AFTER you are out of the puddle, otherwise the Grounded effect will eat your cooldown.
- •Pick champions with strong ranged poke or persistent slows; Singed hates being slowed because it negates his bonus.
- •Watch your positioning near his tower; a good Singed will always try to Buffer his to flip you into turret aggro.
Teamfight Warning
- ⚠He will use Ghost and to sprint into your backline. Your ADC needs to save Flash for his attempt.
- ⚠Don't clump up in tight jungle corridors where his can ground your entire team at once.
- ⚠His applies 40% Grievous Wounds while is active; your healers will be much less effective during the fight.
- ⚠Focus his teammates, not him. If Singed is running away with 20% HP, let him go; he is baiting you away from the actual carry.
- ⚠He can interrupt channels like Katarina R or Zac E charge-up with a well-timed fling.
