Serious Question: Why was Singed Created?

Kind of a bitch rant, but I'm also trying to ask an important question. I mean, Singed arguably is one of the most annoying champs ever created, not just in League but in and MOBA or video game. Literally his entire gameplay is running around poisoning people stupid enough to chase you and flipping people into your poison or over walls if they're stupid enough to not know what you're planning. Literally all of this is what makes him unfun to face against. He doesn't engage on you like most other fighters, he doesn't cast spells that you have to try and dodge to then get close to him, he just runs around you, your minions, your whole team and still manages to kill shit.

On top of this, if you don't have any sort of hard CC like a Morg root, more than likely you're fucked because, like I said, he'll just run around you and your team, slowly killing you all as you try to chase but because MS is a big part of his playstyle you can't fucking catch him. But honestly the thing that I think I hate the most about him is his ult. It is literally nothing but stat boosts but all for the ridiculous time OF 25 FUCKING SECONDS! 25 seconds! At all ranks! Which increases his armor, AP, MS and MR by 35/50/80 and his health and mana regen by 7/10/16. All of that for 25 seconds!

Just....OK complaining aside, I just don't get why he's like this. Yes he does take time to master or play well but when you face people who know what they're doing, it sucks the fun completely out of the game and lane for me since I can rarely kill and he'll just proxy my lane over and over again. As well, his one of the oldest champs in League and his identity of being the guy who kills you if you try and catch him is so iconic that I don't think Riot can ever touch this guy with any sort of rework since they'll just get a giant backlash from the part of the community that like/main him (much like Lee Sin).

Singed capitalizes on people being stupid and running after him

This makes him unfun to play against

Did you just call yourself stupid?

Singed actually wasnt created by Riot he was spawned into the game through random code and AI.

You see all the toxicity that gets spewed in your average game of league isnt just words typed onto a screen, they get logged and remembered but Riots advanced AI algorithms. Eventually the Toxicity could not be contained anymore and it created singed and a method for releasing the toxicity that was being contained within the AI back onto the playes that spewed it. Now all of Leagues community must suffer for the actions of those toxic players and the toxic hate poisons us like a gas cloud while the AI and singed laugh at our misery.

Really though hes not that bad dont worry about catching him, he doesnt take turrets fast, he can pretty much be ignored because if he gets close to any half decent team comp he will end up really low and have to run away, just dont chase after him. Stay calm dont let the toxicity over take you, and just let it go. If you get to pick your champ after he has picked his he becomes ridiculously easy to beat because the people that counter him in lane counter him really hard (Kayle, Talon, Teemo, Fiora,)

How I deal with Singed proxy is to just build whatever form of sustain I can for my champion and ignore him doing the same thing in the middle of top lane. If you are an AD champion just build item 3074 and stand in the middle of your lane all game getting minion fed. If you are a tank just build item 3512 and put it under your tower while you freely farm. If you are a ranged AD just build item 3072 . Really the only people who should have any problem with this strategy is mages which there are few of who commonly go top lane. Rumble Ryze Lissandra

Singed was literally the first champion Riot created.

"According to Steve 'Udyr' Mieczkowski, Singed was the first ever champion to be created in the game." http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Singed

If you don't like Singed you don't like league.
