Please don't hotfix nerf Singed already

So Meddler just tweeted out that they're going to hotfix nerf singed: https://twitter.com/RiotMeddler/status/885321824149528577

"Looks like we'll probably be hotfix nerfing Singed, dude's looking way too strong in 7.14. Currently considering hitting HP, W CD, R CD"

Please don't do this. He's been out for a day, don't nerf him ALREADY. I mean what irritates me the most is the double standards - they get to hotfix nerf singed but don't hotfix nerf fiora/thresh/twitch etc. who's been having similar amounts of success?

Honestly speaking, at least give him some time to settle before assessing nerfs. His mains are in full force right now and are skewing win rates.

Singed mains over at reddit has blown the fuck up. Riot hasn't given it more than one day before they decided the nerf him. ONLY ONE TRICKS PLAY SINGED. Where are the thresh nerfs? Pantheon nerfs? Such a joke

It just does not make any sense. Here is the info on Singed's win rate for each tier:

Bronze: #3 with 54.7%, below Yorick and Fiddles, and equal to Rammus, Diana, and Swain Silver: #6 with 54.28%, below Amumu, Raka, Draven, Sona, and Garen Gold: #1 with 57.09%, within 1% of Nunu, Sona, Malz, and Skarner Plat: #3 with 58.94%, below Nunu and Wukong. It's worth noting that Wukong's win rate here the same gap between Singed and second place in gold tier Diamond: #14 at 56.29%, which is below champs with more games, including Warwick, Sona, Darius, and Miss Fortune Master: Not placed because no Singed games played Challenger: #9 with the second-least games played, which is below Jayce with the highest number of games played

He's obviously top tier after his buffs, but he's not an outlier in any sense. Nunu is top 2 in three divisions. Sona, Warwick, Taric, Swain, Malz, Anivia, Nocturne, and MF are also top tier across almost every division.

I won't say that Singed isn't too strong in a vacuum, but it's absolutely bizarre that they would hit him with a hotfix nerf when they ignore other champs with similar stats or that are way more cancerous.

I mean... There were like a dozen singed mains in master that all dropped to diamond in the past few months as the meta got worse and worse for him... Is it really surprising that OTP's are starting to slowly (55% wr) climb back to their previous ranks? Wait literally 1 patch and his winrate will stabilize to ~50% again as it always does because his playerbase is all OTPs.

I don't support the nerfs bit I never understood the buffs
