@RiotRepertoir Request to Change Singed's Recommended Items
Hello Rito,
I am a long time
main and crafted two guides on how to play him (#1 Singed guide on Mobafire and #3 on LolKing)
http://www.lolking.net/guides/255326 and http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/s5-welcome-to-singed-city-patch-5-16-425849
I have a simple quality-of-life request that I think makes sense. Please change his recommended items. Here are the changes I'd like to see:
Starting Items -> Stay the same
Essential Items
->
Offensive Items
->
Defensive Items
->

Here is my reasoning. You may not agree with my build tips from my guide, but these items undoubtedly better reflect synergy with his kit than the previous Recommended Items. Here's why:
- Essential Items are items that tell a player "you should probably build these every game." No actual experienced/highly ranked
main ever buys
AND
together, it's just nonsensical and suboptimal. Many
mains like myself, including the Based InvertedComposer himself, realize that you don't actually need to build any mana on
and can be just as effective (if not more) without a single mana item. Don't believe me? Look at builds from top ranked
mains, read some guides (my guide?), do some math, or even try out InvertedComposer's Build Optimizer http://leagueoflegendsmath.com/ - With that said, MOST if not ALL
mains and players will agree that
is an amazing item that you would want to build every game and has the most synergy with his kit. - Additionally, most
players and main still agree that
is a decent item nonetheless, and a good option for an offensive item (hence why I swapped
and
in the Recommended Items).
being the tanky front-line champion that he is with some of the shortest ability ranges in the game, no gap closers, and DoT, would naturally want to buy
ESPECIALLY NOW that
passive damage scales on bonus armor (from ultimate). Most
players would agree this is a must-buy in most cases against any team with an ADC (hint: every team). This is why I moved it into Essential Items.- Defensive items are another big change. Obviously I took
out of there and replaced it with
. Why
? Because it's an armor item that gives utility (always good on a tank) but also gives
SOME HP return from the 400 mana. It would make sense to at least make
a visible option in the Recommended Items. - Let's be honest here,
has no business being a VISIBLE defensive item option for
. Its in-combat stats are mediocre at best giving only 100 HP more than
. - Additionally, the out-of-combat stats for
has anti-synergy with
because
is one of the champions that is out-of-combat the least. He's a DoT champion which means lingering traces of poison that happen to do damage until 3 seconds later delays the
out-of-combat stats from procing (Warmog's Heart or whatever it's called). Additionally, if enemies are "chasing the Singed" (which is what you want) then they are running through poison so you'll never really go out-of-combat.
as a defensive option because 50 MR is quite a bit and a lot of
players are opting for this more now since his MR/lvl was added.
as a defensive option should be self-explanatory. Armor, HP, and movement speed. That's like 3/5 of the stats
would want in a single item.
in place of
because its passive (increased healing) synergizes really well with
ultimate which can lead to an additional 200+ or so HP healed while in-combat.
Just a simple request that I think should improve the game. When new or inexperienced players hop on to play
then end up building
(a 1920g investment) and realize they do no damage and die really quickly they stop wanting to play or learn more about the champion.
Rito, let's make this a better game together--one step at a time :).
