How to deal with proxy singed?

Clutch Thompson··1 votes·850 views

My team got rolled by proxy singed. I mained singed for a lil before and thought the best way to deal with him is to ignore him. I was so wrong. I was nasus just farming under tower but singed racked up hundreds of CS and attracted half of my team for a long time and we lost hard.

Tips?

all he does is split push thats all he does so how do you beat a split pusher? group and fight and do it over and over because its a 4v5 and you can win those fights easily then you can push much harder

If you can counterpick him, then someone who can either A, farm under turret/near turret/while taking aggro (Nasus for example) or B, someone who can catch up with Singed extremely easily (Riven for example) both work. His playstyle is essentially to just ignore the enemy laner altogether and just farm near your base. Don't bother chasing him unless you actually know how to deal with him. He builds mostly full splitpush tank outside of Rylai's, so you will almost certainly not kill him, nor will you almost ever catch him. It'll also not be worth the time because of how long it'll take in the first place to even get a kill. Also suicide proxy Singed is a particular type where they aim for a lot of executes to reduce their kill value.

In mid/late, he'll be splitpushing most likely. If necessary, have one person stay near the tower he's pushing to prevent him from trying to rush it, but don't, and I repeat, don't chase him or try to run him down for a kill. Just stay generally near until the wave is destroyed. You will almost certainly fail. What Proxy Singed wants to do is waste everyone's time chasing him so that teamfights fall in his teamfight's favor while delaying and stalling the enemy team members due to how incredibly slippery he is. Same thing with objectives, he'll try to waste time. His poison really shouldn't be a problem, if it is, get MR.

Other than that, he has almost no teamfight utility except just slowing with his W and Rylai's + Q.

Good Singeds usually go TP + Ghost, and between those 2 and his ultimate, catching him is a pipe dream most of the time. Even if you do, it's not worth it.

Have your jg start top side and do krugs raptors red. Collapse on him.

Isn't Nasus good under tower? Also, maybe get a Zz'Rot or Banner of Command so you can match the push.

I'd counter using a champ who does % HP dmg. Vi, Vayne, Fiora, Amumu (seriously...try this as counter to Singed...OP as hell), Fizz, Trundle and Shyvana are a few to try.

Here's the fun part - if you know you're going against a Singed, take Smite as one of your summs (personally I'd use Vi, Fizz, Trundle and Shyv, all of whom can get away with running Smite + Teleport top....they don't have to have Flash because of their kits). Buy hunter's machete and build it into Skirmisher's sabre (reduces Singed's dmg to you, your AA's will do some true dmg), then into Bloodrazor. That adds more % HP dmg.

Build Merc Treads, BOTRK, and then Hexdrinker/Maw. By now you've probably wrecked the Singed a few times...build whatever tank items your team needs, and you should be good to go.

Your AA's with the champs I mentioned should be absolutely shredding his HP, and he can't proxy for long while you're whittling his HP down because he'll eventually take harass from CS and towers....it shuts him down pretty hard. If you don't have experience with the champs I mentioned, you should spam them in games for a bit. I'd start out learning with Fizz or Trundle, and get some attack speed/lifesteal runes + masteries. They'll be the easiest to learn.

If you have good waveclear, you can ignore him mostly. As long as his minion waves can't get into your turret constantly, you're good. Otherwise, get the jungler to gank him once or twice (not constantly, that gives up any ability to pressure other lanes and dragon). If you can get him to recall, you can try to freeze one wave outside of his turret and go harass him.

Alternatively, you can let the minions take turret, and push him out of range so he misses out on a LOT of that bonus gold.

Eve me being a Singed one trick idk what you can do I dont care what happens to me with Singed nothing disturbed me LMAO

Tell your jg not to camp him and to help out Bot or Mid even if the Singed keeps dying he is getting cs, giving obj and he is not worth gold with all his deaths

ignore it and just farm and then group with your team later, honestly do anything but chase him.

3 man gank im about 3 times with jungle and midat that point the minions should be stronger than singed. sure mid may fall behind but they can play safe and if they dont want to help because they will fall behind leave them and singed just remember when singed becomes annoying to everyone to tell mid that team play could have prevented it.
