PSA: Singed has a bloody 55% win rate right now

Malicious Metal··84 votes·5,274 views

A hotfix nerf IS Indeed warranted.

If Lee Sin would be sitting at a 55% win rate so soon after a small rework the entirety of the boards would be calling for nerfs.

Edit: Oh, what lovely people this thread attracted. Just proving my point I guess.

MEANWHILE PANTHEON HAS BEEN ~55% FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS.

I'd agree that patheon needs something done to him in that he's got very little counterplay in lane. I've heard some match-ups are just letting him free-farm during laning phase.

Fisher No Chains9 votes

You mean 90% of both mid and toplane matchups?

Automated Riven5 votes

If you don't just let him free farm he kills you. That's what needs to be addressed.

Yeah... Singed has had a 55% win rate for like... one day? and players aren't banning him or picking him significantly? Sure... totally see the justified comparison to Lee Sin.

I dont understand that "strong for one day" argument tho... sure it was a fast reaction, but if a champ gets overbuffed he should be hotfixed.

it's already declining according to this chart, granted not everyone lives in the future. if he jumps back that high or stays there, then he'll be a problem

like i said earlier, give it time and people will figure out how to play vs him. guaranteed a lot of people don't even know his W grounds now

teach me dude, how do you play against singed how do you play against someone who's ult lasts for an eternity while literally giving him free stats without doing anything like yi ult, and who's main spell is up every fcking second

Singed is an awful champ design and should honestly be looked at for total rework, he cannot be buffed and be strong without being horribly oppressive.

He lacks counterplay when he's powerful, he's a Volibear.

his winrate drops to 51% today in LoLAnalytics

Head over to R/Singedmains and you'll understand why.

You really thing that 1% group of Singed mains is enough to bring it down? How come his KDA isn't terrible then?

Adaptive Helm is getting double it's damage reduction buff? The hell? That crap is horrible to play as when someone rushes it as Kat because her entire skillset is her passive ><.

Big Lincoln4 votes

up to 20% from 15%, not double but still a decent buff

up to 20% from 15%, not double but still a decent buff

I thought it was 10% originally. I guess I never paid attention to the tooltip after reading it once and misread it that first time. Still pretty BS imo. The item already felt like hitting your head against a brick wall when fighting against it as someone like Kat, and I feel like Kat wasn't even meant for it's intended purpose, just an unfortunate side effect, though I could be wrong. I always figured it was meant for champs like Singed, Teemo, Cass. Kat's gameplay is much different than those, her passive is just in that weird spot to where the item feels like it shuts her down.

Either way, as I said in Big Lincoln's post earlier. I don't think Singed was that oppressive. No one was building Adaptive Helm vs me in the game I played and I snowballed by building pure AP(a build I think was intended for Singed after the changes). Late game I still had trouble getting around people. I was semi tanky because of the AP items I built but I wasn't dealing very much damage as they got MR. One nice interaction I noticed though was that if Kayn goes inside you with his ult he can die from your passive(lol).

Big Lincoln2 votes

i think singed is good enough with just rylai and liandry

my build usually comes down to item 3151 item 3116 item 3001 item 3075 item 3009 / item 3111 and then optional final item, i like luden or zz'rot

INoble KnightI4 votes

A lot of champs also are hell for Singed. Gnar, Fiora, Jayce, Irelia, and Nasus to name a few.

20 minutes3 votes

not irelia for sure, but kennen, quin, pantheon, and especially_** Yorick and Rumble.**_

INoble KnightI2 votes

Kennen is a nightmare to deal with and Pantheon can go die in a fire. The rest are also nightmares to deal with.

Big Lincoln14 votes

slow him, stun him, knock him back. same shit that applies to other melee movespeed bruisers

in lane he gets wrecked by Gnar Jayce Teemo Yorick champs who can stop him from doing what he does which is run around and farm and be a pest or Kayle who doesn't care at all if he proxies because she can just farm too and outscale him massively. champs like teemo will keep him from ever touching the wave

in teamfights anyone who can impede him is a problem, which means any support, most mages especially ones like anivia are capable of stopping him from getting on your team and spreading poison. he beats most tanks in lane but they can itemize against him and CC him in teamfights and with coordination he'll go down quickly.

and his hotfix nerf is live. more minor than i thought, maybe riot knows that people will adjust to singed naturally and just wants to tweak him

I find countering a poison-themed DoT champ with another poison-themed DoT champ to be kinda funny

Big Lincoln6 votes

you've never played rock poison poison?

it's a classic

Lyndris3 votes

I thought it was poison venom toxin?

Ahristocats5 votes

you just listed 4 ranged champions XDDDDDDDDDDDD this just shows how cancer his kit is, i don't need to argue further

dude canno't be beaten unless he doesn't reach you, and once he does he's just a volibear like it was said above

singed didn't deserve to be buffed

Big Lincoln2 votes

loses to j4 and mord too. and fiora, maybe not as much or at all after nerfs, no clue

FlameanatorX3 votes

Nasus, Darius, probably Galio beat him as well. And then there are quite a few champions who don't necessarily counter him, but can lane just fine.

cocacolalips6 votes

you don't use lolalytics much do you, the on going day is always iffy on the 7 days chart, well because the day has barely begun and there isn't much data yet. you have to wait till night for the next day to start or close to it to have a good sample for this day.

we have 7-11 and before: 47-48% 7-12: 54% 7-13: 55% 7-14: the day just began in europe/australia, have to wait but there is no reason it won't be around 55% too, had they not hotfixed the game a couple hours ago.

Big Lincoln3 votes

i don't live in the future, they just relay info to me in the past

cocacolalips4 votes

if you flip a coin once, you will get 100%-0% head-tail. does that mean the odds are always 100-0%? no, that means you need to flip the coin a lot more times to get a solid sample size

it's the same here, you have to wait a full day to get enough games to get a reliable estimation.

Shhhh... Let him "be in his spotlight" even though he is one of the least interactive champions in the entire game.

warpenguin55512 votes

^ You don't even lane against the guy, he just runs around doing his own thing

Junkο4 votes

Which gives you free farm and let's you pass the laning phase on champions with laning problems with 0 struggle.

What's the problem here? Would you rather be killed over and over again by shit like Darius and Pantheon?

warpenguin5556 votes

The problem here is that I like my lane opponents to actually show up with the intention of playing league of legends and not some weird cross between harvest moon and tag

Atleast Pantheon and Darius show up with the intention of playing the game against you, and when champions like those 2 are meta why would you even consider playing a bad laner?

Cocho16 votes

On op.gg, he's at 54% and there are alot of champs with a similar winrate/pickrates to singed. Rammus Nunu Rengar Pantheon Kassadin MissFortune Draven Janna Thresh

Why call out singed specifically without some of these champs? It just seems like a double standard. I think waiting and seeing what happens would be the better course to take.

It also doesn't help that one of his biggest counters just got a pretty good nerf. Fiora

I mean the point still stands, I'm not saying he isn't too strong or op. If singed isn't okay, the others shouldn't be either. More champs should get hotfixed, not just singed.

Singed was shit for 2 years, and everyone who plays singed is mostly a hardcore singed OTP and with a shit champion they cant really climb elo. Singed just got a little viable again and the obvious happens, singed mains that once hit higher elos, but where low because of how bad singed was, are now gaining back their true rank.

Probably just all the new players never seen Singed in their lives, keep chasing him and wonder why they are dying :p
