Jungle Singed now semi-viable?

TacoPunch·Nov 5, 2014·1 votes·950 views

I've of course played with Singed and even occasionally the jungle Singed. Now, however, he has a snare in his kit! Flinging into your poison now snares players. Tricky to land on a jungle gank situation? Sure, maybe. Effective if landed? Extremely.

Taking someone out of position is great. Snaring is great. Doing damage from Q while all this happens is really great. Having your laner get to the enemy who is now closer and snared AND lower health? That shit is deadly.

Any opinions? I have yet to see any attempts or try it myself but it seems interesting.

Granted he requires a lot of items that stack up over time, ganks are basically run-at-you, and his damage isn't overwhelming during laning phase... but I think it could work.

you do realize that landing an enemy into his good is a bit tricker (anyone can fling into goo, but would be hard to be consistent and effective as a ganking mechanism.) than anything and his clear would still be quite horrible. maybe with the new changes is season 5 but def not with this slight upgrade. I play singed a lot and have never been able to pull off a successful jungle with him.

singed jungle relies on one thing. being the tank and resisting as much movement speed reduction or CC as possible. this makes it easier to run in and catch someone with fling! the new armour JG item is fantastic with singeds gas cloud and masteries to deplete camps fast. and i'd advise doing hybrid mpen and apen marks so you can do more damage to monsters and enemies. the new changes to his w will make getting ganks for bottom lane easier.

Also be sure to add about 20-30 AP at the start of the game to help clear camps faster. since Mpen does nothing to enemy monster camps.
