Singed Fling Bug

Stryxs·10/13/2014, 11:36:26 PM·29 votes·3,795 views

Singed only player here with 1k+ games played. Since the new patch singed's fling is often broken. I think it has something to do with the new terrain thing where displaced champs that hit terrain where they shouldn't be get moved in funny ways. Anyway, the bug is when you fling an opponent sometimes (at least once a game for me, sometimes more) the enemy just jumps up where they are instead of getting flung behind you. It's very frustrating as you can't get your poison on them + they don't get moved behind you.

Very. VERY frustrating. Lost out on so many kills :(. This happens almost every game and only since latest patch.

This bug occurs when you flip someone who is moving away from you at near max range. Try to run a custom and start chase someone from behind. Provided you have higher MS and lock on the flip, they will just be thrown into the air and not actually be moved the large majority of the time. I also main singed, and this bug makes him nearly unplayable. You have no guarantee that your all in will net a displaced carry even if you make it to the backline. The uncertainty of whether or not your flip will actually work completely ruins any of Singed's current viability.

I was this once.

Singed ganked mid, and the enemy yasuo turned to run into the river towards baron since we had him blocked off from his turret.

Singed went to fling him back towards the lane, but instead yasuo went sideways over the wall a the edge of the river and we were both so confused.

I wrote this everywhere in the last 3 days. No one Riot answer. And when I wrote about they don't answer, they deleted my discussion.

It has to do with the ranged. For some reason the game does not recognize the correct ranged when chasing. Although it is supposed to be 125, it appears that if your enemy moves further away from you, even once they are within the 125 range, your fling will not work properly. This is a huge pain for us singed mains :(

Played Singed in ARAM today. 'E' is broken. 1 in 5 throws moved the enemy in the appropriate direction. Towards the end I averaged 2 in 7. A third of the time they were thrown to the side and about half of the time they were tossed up in front of me to land in the same spot. Obviously not a functional ability.

Just had the same issue in ARAM. Out of about 20 flings, less than half were backwards. Most just popped the opponent into the air for a quick second, leaving them still in front of me. Left me unable to contribute much to the team.

i too have noticed this, just got done making a thread

I do not have a video but I found, like many others on this thread, the singed flip bug ( which causes the target to be tossed in various directions, primarily in a forward relative to Singed facing) occurs at max range or when the target moves just past that during the casting. This is most likely because of unit collision physics and as the target is about to be thrown overhead they are jutted back out... this is just an educated guess.

I've literally flung people forward whilst being directly behind them

I also encountered this bug. I don't have repro specifics, but I see mention of ghost. The fling didn't always 'malfunction' but it may have occurred during ghost's effect.

Just want to reiterate this again to throw another voice in the mix. This renders a viable champion unplayable for ranked games and inconsistent in all others. Please. Fix. Halp. Plaez. Halps.

Im singed main as well as you can tell by my name, but i seem to noticed that it only happens when you use summoner 6 and it flips them forward. Its happened to me in ranked over 10 times today. thanks ill try to get a video of it for proof.

This has happened to me several times, and most of them critical ones where the other player was very low health and they ended up getting away instead... :/
