Help me understand how you could have possibly nerfed singed, while we now have to deal with gnar?

Seriously This is where i really just can't fathom the thought process of the balance team, and you do this all year round every year you nerf irrelevant champs and then add more champs that make them even more irrelevant.

So over the last year or so singed was the target of a number of nerfs why? because he was a tanky initiator melee champ? Then you release gnar who does EVERYTHING singed does but does it ten times better while also having insanely safe laning and mega safe farming harass as well due to his range, slow, and numerous jumps. the net result Singed is an impossibly bad champion who has no hope laning vs almost everything and anything and you refuse to undo all the nerfs given which STILL would leave him in a very subpar place to lane.

Just did the exact same thing recently with Warwick, knee jerk reaction because of a poorly designed jungle item, which you nerf but then you give warwick 4 nerfs a champion who was ALREADY subpar and an low tier jungler. Now here we are warwick is a subpar bad champion.

Please don't give me the self serving story about kit being difficult to balance, when you have champions like lee sin/j4 running around dominating NOW THOSE champs have toxic kits hard to balance.

The list is long urgot? meanwhile trist corki and the crew of ultra safe powerful ADC's lives on forever urgot? herr derr toxic kit (immobile big phat target) but hey corki kit NOT TOXIC! boggle make it make sense.

When did they even touch singed since the Tenacity removal on his ult which was well over a year ago? Heck they BUFFED him semi-recently what with the ability to snare if you fling into adhesive pool.

Not counting TT/Dom nerfs because those are justified and well, don't really count anyways.

yeah ww has great sustain and its foolish to try to counter jungle him as he will probably be at or near full hp. Plus he can still 100 to 0 most squishies pretty easily. 1v1 if both players have ults and are equally fed he will normally win. He just isn't as OP as zed or lee sin with their explode you and then escape untouched under your turret and surrounded by teammates kit. So yeah WW is a bad example.

I don't really agree, while he's not AS BAD as he's being made out to be in the post above, he's far from really good after his skull got caved in by the nerf bat.

The only thing good about WW is he can clear without pots, and he suppresses a target for a free kill if more than just WW is involved in the fight. Other than that largely irrelevant, and not to mention that he's mostly useless if his ult is down.

The last nerf Singed received was on September 4, 2013, and was a bugfix for his E doing more damage than it was supposed to. Everything after that is buffs.
