Remember the last time you gave a tanky AP champion %HP damage?

Maokai was ridiculous for how many patches? And now he's just kinda mediocre at everything.

Do you want the same thing to happen to Singed, Riot? I get why you think this is a good idea (tanks need some reason to keep focusing them, and they need to be tough to not die. Therefore, giving them damage that scales on the enemy's health means they get to be damaging and build tanky) but it's not nearly that simple. As basically every bruiser has showed us, being both tanky and damaging is a balance nightmare. This would encourage him to be even more of an unkillable jerk then he already is, and it doesn't even have to do with his main strength (he's difficult to run away from or catch; his entire kit reflects this idea).

I get that you want to buff him in some way, but this is not it. %HP damage is bad for the game. Please don't do it more.

Singed has no gap-closer and must get into melee range to Fling you, while Maokai has Twisted Advance to close the gap AND can lob his little saplings at you for harassment.

Different Champions.

Singed also has a large amount of chase/anti-chase potential, and has better disposition than Maokai.

I didn't think that Mao needed %HP damage either.

Bear in mind, Liandries is a pretty common purchase on singed (because it works incredibly well with his poison), so singed (by the time how much damage he does really matters) is already pretty damaging if you just let him run around nonstop.

Its also worth nothing that Singed at the very least has to actually walk up to you to use Fling, Maokai would do an untargetable dash to you from 575 units away.

Also true, but he doesn't do burst. He relies on flinging people into his poison trail (or them walking into it themselves.) This would add a fair bit of burst into his combo, which I'm not sure Singed needs.
