How do you beat Singed?

Seriously.

Serious question.

All he does is go behind tower and farm minions before they get to lane, and everyone just says "let him farm." But then he gets fed off of farming and you can't stop him.

Like wtf. I'm so tilted.

Ignore him.

Like seriously, if you chase him hes drawing pressure (and the more ppl that chase him more the pressure he has on the map/game), if you ignore him and just farm and go help your team hes literally doing nothing, it doesnt matter that he has 300 cs in 26 mins by double proxying if you're winning the 5v4's and getting objectives and towers (his team mid laner will probably be behind by default if hes double proxying since hes gonna take cs from his lane + mid, you can further abuse that fact).

Dont chase him around in your base unless its an absolute quick and easy free kill, never give up waves to your tower to chase him around your base, even if you kill him if if you take longer than 15 seconds its not worth it (because while you chase him around hes getting the CS from the waves and you're getting nothing other than the possible assist or kill gold which will be worth close to nothing if has some deaths), so you get behind by chasing him and killing him in your base over and over (and your team will lose objectives for free), unless you can lock him down and kill him quickly.

I've seen good Singed players leverage that "ignore them" to take many a tower. There's a fine line to walk between ignoring him and respecting him.

If singed is proxying in the base then hes not there to hit the towers, it takes a while for the towers to go down to just minions, and besides early game you should just be in your lane farming and not losing the cs to the tower to chase him.

Yup. Which is why Singed is actually such a healthy champ. He tests choice making and map priority over roflstomp kills or teamfights. Like most champs.

if you can try to play a champ that can push a lane hard... wave clear or a super late game scaling champ

some items that can help with what he is trying to do would be item 3060 item 3512 item 3068

i try to play nunu into him and rush those items , with nunu u can slow him with E and you can sustain his damage with Q he scales great with HP. and those items make you able to split push and put pressure on lanes

To add, what good proxy singed players do is know how and when to proxy, they basically force ppl to go out of their way to chase and kill then in their base, which makes it never worth it for them, bad proxy singed just give you free kills.

For example, if you see ppl missing or dead about to respawn its often not a very good idea to start a base proxy as you'll get stopped fairly quick and ppl wont have to walk from their lanes into you first (also depends on how hard they can lock him down, and if hes ahead he'll often not give a shit anyway).

If you go against a good one still the best thing you can do is mostly ignore him unless you're 100% sure you can kill him fast without burning summoners and not losing objective/cs for it.
