Looking for advice on laning against Singed.

I can honestly say I've never won a lane against singed. I'm not going to sit here and rage "Oh my God Riot op nerf" shit. However I've researched his abilities a bit, "haven't used him yet, which I should for best results. He just doesn't seem like he can possibly be outplayed since skill isn't required for his insane hp and ap scaling. He has a slow, a knock up, and a speed boost that I'm pretty sure doubles his speed. Granted the speed boost is his ult, he still has his passive, and with boots of swiftness, no amount of cc can stop him unless it's a root. However all he has to do if rooted is pop his ult after 2 seconds, catch up to you and then his passive kicks off again. Mr doesn't matter since he can just get void staff, even without it he's so tanky and fast you can't stop him.

I know I've just sat here and talked about how he's almost invincible, but with the champs I use he is. Voli and sejuani are my mains in the top lane (Sej I just started maining about a week ago). I don't want to hear from people "Oh, well use this and this champ and he becomes a puppy dog." I want advice on how to defeat him, if possible, in lane as those champs. He seems the same as darius, literally unbeatable with a melee champ unless the darius doesn't know how to use him, except singed has infinitely better wave clear.

I will include that this was on a smurf account, so teamfights were shit, I can figure him out late game, but early game laning, his E flings you really far, straight into minions, it prevents you from farming at all while his q in my opinions is one of the best farming skills in the game. He just feels unbalanced, unless you're ranged.

Have your team(You, Mid, Top) stop him from proxying by blocking off his paths @ level 1. Have your jungler gank him a few times if he tries to proxy again. Pick a champion that farms well under tower and does well against him. Take teleport. That's all I can really say. A good singed can be 0/10/0 and he'll still be a pain in the ass.

Just like Urgot becomes a monster after lvl 13 and 2 items completed, Singed becomes one after he hits mid game.

He has an INSANE mid game power spike that is why you see 0/6/0 Singeds 1 v 1 your 3/0/2 Top lane out of nowhere.

Block off his proxy routes at lvl 1 by staying in the bush, his early game until lvl 4 is clunky and he doesn't want an upfront engage during that.

Bully him in lvl's pre 6 thats where he is weak, buy Adaptive Helm to massively counter his dmg.

When mid game comes around just try to farm and ignore him unless you have a MASSIVE lead on him as Voli. Voli does poorly against him and Sejuanis primary role is Jungle so thats propably why you are struggling

Singed loses automatically to ranged characters. He literally can't do anything while they're free to shoot him from a distance. Ranged characters don't have to walk into his poison trail and Singed can't realistically engage on a ranged champ. Flipping them behind him just cuts off his own mistake.

Pick Gnar, Teemo, Swain, Urgot, et cetera and Singed becomes useless. I literally cannot count the number of free lanes I've had because the enemy blind-picked a Singed. Soloing him so many times, he's 0-9 in as many minutes. The enemy jungler can't even gank, because he will be 1v1 vs. you, because Singed is a non-factor and has already hyper-fed you.

Singed update was so broken that singed 420 went from diamond 5 to masters immediately after it happened. Then got shit stomped to diamond 2. I was there when he streamed it, it was depressing. So yeah, champion is too broken for this fucking game.
