Singed needs a rework to his "toxic" playstyle

darkdill··1 votes·797 views

Singed is in a really poor spot. Rarely seen, easily countered, doesn't contribute well to team fights, and promotes a toxic gameplay style (pun intended). Only dumb players ever chase a Singed these days, and those are in short supply.

IMO, Singed would need more than a buff to get back into viability. His kit needs a rework before he gets back into shape.

My first stop on such a remake would be changing Insanity Potion. I'd do something like this: remove some of the stats it gives (i.e. HP regen), but cause it to instead upgrade his other abilities while active.

Stuff like this:

Poison Trail: Wider and is emitted around him (ala Immolation).

Mega Adhesive: Snares enemies briefly upon touching the slow field.

Fling: Kills and assists refresh the cooldown.

Of course, those are just rough ideas. If you've got better ones, post them up.

This topic was made over 3 months ago. How was I supposed to know what they were planning for Singed?

Singed doesn't need any buffs....who are you playing that easily counters him? Singed is one of the strongest champions in the game. And has one of the best team fight disrupts and initiations in the game.

Singed is viable. There is only one champion in lane that truly counters Singed, and that is Warwick. The only other tough match ups are Rumble, Darius, and Kayle. No one else can do anything to stop your farm.

This is coming from a Singed player with 300+ ranked games and a 60%+ win rate.

Strong initiation compared to Alistar?

The thing is that he isn't as good at team-fights as other mainline tanks because he's not as disruptive against multiple opponents.

Not sure on the W or E, but I would love to see an immolation style Q while his ult is up.
