My real problem with Singed.

Is that he requires too much attention. None of the other 133 champions require that much focus.

I've been playing this game since the end of S2, I owned every champ and every rune (didn't know what to spend my IP on, so I even bought tier 1 and tier 2 runes solely for the purpose of doing something with my IP). I memorized the ability of every champ, I remember when Riven used to be God, whole enemy teams where scared to walk through jungle to baron/dragon if you had Annie on your team, and Mordekaiser Malphite was everybody's go to top laners. The glory days when Ahri could 0 - 100 you and the king of the jungle was Udyr. The jack of all trades champions were Urgot Quinn and you could melt a whole enemy team with Fiora ult.

So I'm not some new player struggling to learn the game and crying. My original account "Talon Wukong" (that name is actually available again since I deleted that account after I was permabanned) was a low plat. My 2nd account, "Fizz Wukong" actually placed bronze because I literally played every match on tilt, mad about my primary account being banned. When you go from playing with high gold/plat/low diamond players to bronze... it messes with you mentally.

I've been playing this game long enough to know what to do in every lane with any champion, against any matchup and come out on top. When teammates used to flame me for picking MonkeyKing into Darius (before his Q had heal) because I knew I had the advantage in team fights, finishing the game with the most damage done to enemy champions (the actual meaning of a carry) and leading my team to victory.

With all that said, Singed is the exception. For as long as I've played this game, Singed is sincerely the only champion that requires special attention to take care of. Honestly, the other 4 champs on Singed team can sit under their turret, patiently waiting for Singed to draw the attention of at least 2 of the 5 other champions while he's in the enemy base having sex with the minions around the 2 nexus turrets. which then allows his other 4 teammates (now with massive minions wave) to instantly siege at least 1 turret before Singed is taken care of.

You won't find any post about any other champ needing to be reworked/fixed etc, other than Singed and I have at least 600 post between my 3 accounts. I've never had a problem with Yasuo Riven Illaoi Darius Nasus Ahri Fizz Katarina Leblanc Zyra Rengar (I'll admit, old Shaco used to piss me off so much I commonly banned him, glad his damage got scaled back with this assassin update but now I feel bad for people that mained him, they deserve a refund). The only champion that ever rubbed me the wrong way was and still is Singed .

With a champion pool of 133 remaining if Singed got removed, I think it's something RIOT should look into.

Singed isn't that bad. By special attention, if you are referring to him split pushing, he isn't the only one that is annoying in that regard. Tryndamere, ekko, yi and xin are champs that also require special focus because of their constant split pushing.
